The ''foam'' is a qualitative description of the turbulence that the phenomenon creates at extremely small distances of the order of the Planck Length . At such small scales of time and space the Uncertainty Principle allows particles and energy to briefly come into existence, and then Annihilate , without violating Conservation Laws . As the scale of time and space being discussed shrinks, the energy of the Virtual Particles increases. At sufficiently small scale space is not smooth as would be expected from observations at larger scales. FOAMING THROUGH THE UNIVERSE Quantum foam is theorized to create masses of '' Virtual Particle s''. They are particle- Antiparticle pairs, and prior to their annihilation, exist for a short period of time, on the order of the Planck Time . They are created randomly from Photon s; the higher the energy of the photon from which they are created, the longer the time they will exist prior to annihilation. These virtual particles make their existence known by the Casimir Effect . It is thought that there are constant Quantum Fluctuation s in "empty" space, even at the energetic homogeneity referred to as absolute zero. Due to this, quantum fluctuations are often described using the term " Zero-point Energy ". The "foamy" spacetime would look like a complex turbulent storm-tossed sea. Some physicists theorize the formation of Wormhole s therein; speculation arising from this includes the possibility of Hyperspatial links to Other Universes . As far as realistic phenomena are concerned, it's thought that the hyperspatial nature of the quantum foam may account for such diverse physical principles as Inertia , propagation of light, and Time Flow . Reginald Cahill has developed a theory called Process Physics , which describes space as a quantum foam system in which Gravity is an inhomogeneous flow of the quantum foam into matter. According to this theory, the so-called Spiral Galaxy Rotation-velocity Anomaly may be explained without the need for '' Dark Matter ''. Various scientists have theorized that quantum foam is an incredibly powerful source of thinks that this enormous uncertainty in the estimation of quantum-foam density would represent the largest disparity for any quantity in all of physics.
