Quantum Mechanics Tl;Dr: Virtual Particles and Negative Mass
“Quantum mechanics allows, and indeed requires, temporary violations of conservation of energy” — Gordon Kane, director of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
Imagine a complete vacuum. Nothing there. Even if there’s nothing there there’s actually something there every once in a while. These somethings are called virtual particles(These get their names from being normal particles but dissapear before they can be observed.)
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle( ∆x∆ρ≥{ ħ/2} )is a mathematical equation that, among other uses, decides whether or not a random virtual particle will apear out of nothing at any given moment.
Along with the virtual particle, another particle is created with a property that should be FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE but totally works because who cares about the laws of physics when you’re a subatomic particle? This other particle is called a negative particle, which has a mass equal to (-1*m) where m is the mass of the virtual particle. That’s right, the mass of a negative particle is less than zero. The two particles, virtual and negative, then fly towards each other at the speed of light and crash into each other creating a wormhole the size of one of the particles. The wormhole closes immediately if not supplied with more negative mass which is what usually happens.
Tl;Dr: Wormholes are constantly opening and shutting all around you because the laws of physics mean fuck all to subatomic particles
