The so called "a field of physics" which is (the forbidden field)
quantum mechanics, deals with "things" that prop out of empty space
only to disappear to it again such as the idea of virtual particles (or
the exchange of it) is pure crap. Nothing comes into being out of
nowhere nor do things disappear into nothing. Such ideas ought to be
(and are) plainly and simply ridiculous.

Because you say so? Your ego is what is pure crap.

Heisenberg disagrees and nature doesn't care what you think.

Well, you've just fallen victim to the usual "physics by pop-sci books"
problem. To understand why this is reasonable (just that, reasonable)
you must study *it*, not the pop-sci *metaphors*. There is no other
way.

Bottom line is: people who do this sort of thing for a living are not
as stupid as you think.
