(Add super symmetry)

How the universe is contained in a sand grain. This is no more of a physical question than a conceptual framework.

(See Schwarzschild radius, the void implicit in each object is the wave dimension, quantum tunnelling, where the possibility of any object bears an entanglement with any other.

How the same thing can be at two different places at the same time is really the investigation of how simultaneity is a sequence of duration constitutes time of activity- the question of what is energy?

On some level modern quantum mechanics resolves this from the wave-particle duality problem that the wave-like systems are inherent in all particles at the quantum level.  The matter wave nature of particle allows for the same particle to be at two different places at the same time because it extends into the same place capable of exhibiting different behaviours.

But this only delineates the quantum problem of the lowest possible energy to an explanation consistent with classical mechanics, that a wave still exhibits projectile motion- the position of a point particle is defined in relation to a coordinate system centred on an arbitrary fixed reference point in space called the origin O. It is exactly this classical fixed referenced point in space that is the source for the cosmological constant problem- the discrepancy between the observed value of vacuum energy density and theoretical large value of zero-point energy of quantum field theory. When a vacuum is observed it is always limited to a reference point disclosing it

In classical mechanics Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space throughout the entire Universe. The latter fact is derived from the former intuition that so long as there is a focus or attention on a vacuum it is a constant locus of the universe. The constant is the attention itself on something and this is most explicit in relation to a vacuum because when a vacuum is seen relative to something it appears to be limited to that specific thing but the vacuum is theoretically infinitely beyond an object.

In quantum field theory, the infinity is a quantum vacuum state (also called the quantum vacuum or vacuum state) is the quantum state with the lowest possible energy. Generally, it contains no physical particles. It is the lowest possible because it is always approaching  infinity. Zero-point field is sometimes used as a synonym for the vacuum state of an individual quantized field.

In quantum mechanics, the vacuum itself should experience quantum fluctuations. In general relativity, those quantum fluctuations constitute energy that would add to the cosmological constant. However, this calculated vacuum energy density is many orders of magnitude bigger than the observed cosmological constant.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is often urged not to be confused with the observer effect because the measurement of certain system cannot be made without changing the system is a specific factor and  the uncertainty principle is much broader than that since it is inherent in objects simply due to the fact that all quantum objects exhibit matter wave behaviour. The uncertainty principle broader than the observer effect simply refers to the duality behaviour of waves, for example when one wave goes up the other is down. The “wave” property is more of a demonstrable illustration of the logic of action-reaction relation that any action subject to a fixed point involves inverse determinations in contradistinction operating freely.

The wave like quantum nature of things also characterizes the vacuum of space. The vacuum exhibits zero point energy because it also behaves not as a particle but continuous fluctuating fields. This means that the vacuum itself is cognized into discrete energy quanta. Modern physics is in owe of the fact that a vacuum on its own exhibit motion and energy and this leads to a lack of model for understanding zero-point energy; specifically the discrepancy between theorized and observed vacuum energy is precisely prevalent because physics is still currently trying to subject quantum mechanics to classical physics rather than aiming to adapt classical physics to quantum science.

When a vacuum is abstracted as a fixed point independent and isolate from any other influencing variables, alike the objects it contains, this may theoretically remove all object and leave the vacuum alone for perceptible analysis, but that does not necessarily eliminate the gravitational effect of these variables as primarily indivisible from the vacuum mainly because eliminating them perceptually does not eliminates their effects conceptually. When I do not perceive the effect of something it does not mean that the effect is not tangible. While modern physics focuses on contrasting the  observer effect with the uncertainty principle, the negligence grew to relate them.

The observer effect is fundamentally related to the uncertainty principle in the fact that all comprehensive properties of the observer, and not arbitrarily selected ones, change the phenomena. isolating a vacuum from everything else does not mean that it will operate as if it is isolated from everything else. The contrary is true in that when isolating a vacuum from everything it still operates as if it contains the total energy of everything because it still does, only now we have a pure conception of it. Having a pure conception of one thing does not mean that it ceases to be connected with other things necessarily separated to achieve the pure conception. For example, both Richard Feynman and john wheeler calculated the zero-point radiation of the vacuum to be an order of magnitude greater than nuclear energy, a single light bulb containing enough energy to boil all the worlds ocean.

Energy is normally thought of as a kind of fuel exhausted by an object that makes use of it. The scientific definition of work reveals that whenever work is done, energy is transferred. From this basic definition work is the result of exertion causing displacement in the direction of the force. The notion of a vacuum when abstracted from the things it contains develops the confusion that it is external from objects and objects interact externally from each other. This reduces energy to an external element which is the use value of one thing externally exerting force on another. But the notion of zero-point energy in quantum field theory suggests that the vacuum is not merely space where energy gravitates, in other words a vacuum is not only the space that contains stuff; instead the vacuum is itself the first fundamental form of energy in things. Energy is the event in the other.

A vacuum is perfect demonstration of the idea that energy are the potential events that constitute the content of an activities duration, because a vacuum is the basic energy of kinetic motion. The vacuum is the innate capacity and the  space for a thing to move in any possible direction, place speed etc. What we see as the space that contains the movements like projectile motion measured by classical mechanics are the actual extrapolation of the events potentially conceived, outside motion is the effect of the insides capacity to move.

Energy is the internal relations exerted outwards as external relations. This is the process of actualization that a thing able to live up right left down actually does so. Energy is the actual concentration of the capacity to love into these potentialities excreted outwards as moving in a certain direction.

The quantum phenomena of a particle occupying two different places at the same time is not sufficiently explained with the nature of a wave because the extension of spectrum still having the same extremes classically occupies the same time in two different places. In other words two different objects

This reverse of the proposition does not address how the same point occupies two different places at the same time, specifically with the significance that the same point is simultaneously the possibility of the different times and places.

If we take a wave as the spectrum extended between two extreme points, and in between we have a third point moving from one end to the other, that transitioning point carries with it as it moves from one end to the other the content of the wave as presupposition of its advance.  The motion of an object in classical physics unrelates to the motion of other objects unless acted on as in the case of a collision. But in quantum the motion of the object is itself a dimension where every object it passes by is contained within as presupposition of being not in their place.

Motion in quantum realm is the self identical object going through every object it is not and that is how it moves. In this way we have the possibility of one object having to include in its dimension other objects as part of its physical composition necessary for motion. Like an object having chemical reaction that complies it to move.

 (Add to string theory, person running)

The way to explain the zero point energy notion is by looking at the nature of dimensions. String theory “replaced” the point-like particles of particle physics with one-dimensional objects called “strings”. Our understanding likes to say that one theory replaced the other but really this is an advancement, the application of point like particle is made by deriving their fundamental relations, which is their ingredients or code that makes them behave in a certain manner. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. A string fundamentally is an indeterminate state of a potential set of operations. In other words a dimension discloses a set of operations.

Dimensions we normally think of as portals and passages of nature where an interchange of information can be made and in some sense this is true except that it is usually ignored that these passages of nature themselves form the pillars structuring the the physical configurations of a particular thing. In other words a particular object is itself a dimension, insofar as it has a singularity implicit within it with a force of conceiving a change in its object. Everyone is at least ordained with 3-dimensions we can visualize. String theory states there must be at least 10 dimensions of space plus one dimension for time. Some physicists argue that there are more.

Theoretically the notion of the infinite can be applied to dimensions meaning there are an infinity of dimensions except it is too difficult to geometrically conceptualize therefore the idea cannot be demonstrated. This is a function of the infinite that it is universal and applicable to any finite factors, in other words any finite factors is theoretically infinite, the problem is however twofold; first, that finite object when infinite looses its particularity that makes it distinguishable and second, the application of the infinite onto finite does not mean unlimited redundancy like in the case of an object quantitively duplicated into different objects of the same thing, because that would just be the reaffirmation of the same quality.

If we look at the move from 1D to 2D and into 3D, we see a duplication of the same operator, the 1 like becomes 4 lines, the 1 square becomes 4 squares. However this mere multiplication alone does not explain the form exhibited by the shape of the dimension, in other words, four lines besides each other is a duplication but does not make a square, an angle is needed to make a square, and a square is needed to make the 3 dimensional cube. The quality of an operator like a line is not its duplication but is the way the multiplication relates to form a figure, the shape is the reason for the multiplication. When we move on to the more complex dimensions like 4D and beyond, we start seeing how the shape itself forms the relation wherein the form of the other shapes are invested in each other and how their relation is connecting them.
