What is Quantum fluctuation?
A '''quantum fluctuation''' is the temporary change in the amount of energy in a point in space, as explained in [[Werner Heisenberg]]'s uncertainty principle.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/21/science/new-direction-in-physics-back-in-time.html?pagewanted=all|work=The New York Times|title=New direction in physics: back in time | first=Malcolm W. | last=Browne | date=1990-08-21 | accessdate=2010-05-22}}</ref> It applies only to [[quantum physics]]. virtual particle-[[antiparticle]] pairs for exceedingly short periods of time. Like normal matter and [[antimatter]], theoretical electrons and positrons annihilate each other. Unlike normal matter, however, they do not create any energy when they annihilate each other, but instead create an imaginary photon. Normal [[photons]] can interact with [[matter]], but theoretical photons do not. == References == {{reflist}} Abhyudaya Apoorva - The theory of nothing {{-}} {{physics-stub}} [[Category:Quantum mechanics]]
