Two Young Fish
Two young fish are swimming along, and an older fish swims past and says,
"Hey boys, how do you like the water today?"
The young fish swim along and then one of the fish says to the other:
"What’s water?
“Are we are like fish who have never questioned the water we swim in."
Imagine a fish, born in the ocean, never having left the water. It never stops to think about the medium surrounding it — it’s just "there."
Now consider us: humans, living in what we call "empty space."
For centuries, we’ve assumed that space is a void, an absence of anything. But what if we’re just like the fish — blind to the very thing we exist within?
What if the vacuum isn’t empty at all, but a real, structured substance?
A substance that gives rise to particles, forces, and even gravity — all as disturbances within its structure?
What if the universe is made of something just as invisible to us — something we’ve been ignoring all along?"
We are like those fish — we exist inside the vacuum medium, but we don’t notice it because we’ve never known anything else.
Step Into the Wonderland of the Vacuum
Physicists are locked into their particle models—with their billion-dollar accelerators and elaborate equations.
That’s fine.
But what if we step back for just a moment—
and venture into a little wonderland?
What if the universe isn’t empty at all…
but filled with something real—something structured—
a quantum vacuum?
And what if everything—all matter, all forces, even light—
emerged from ripples, swirls, and resonances in that medium?
What would we see?
What would suddenly make sense?
