Quantum mechanics (QM) predicts the existence of molecular orbitals (MO) for the formation of molecules by covalent bonds. These MOs (not modus operandi) are describable by QM as the superposition of wave functions from the individual atomic orbitals. However, when atomic orbitals are combined three distinct energy states emerged. Whose frequencies are |f1-f2|, |f1+f2|, and |f1|+|f2| satisfying the compound triangular inequality |f1-f2|≤|f1+f2|≤|f1|+|f2|. The mystery is why the MOs prefer the lower energy state rather than the higher energy states of anti-bonding molecular orbitals (ABMOs) having two lobes that are external to the space between the atomic orbitals. Since molecules always formed toward lower energy states, these ABMOs are always empty. These vacant ABMOs strongly suggest the existence of extra-molecular volumes between atoms, molecules, bulk matter, stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxy. This could even explain the quantum jumps within an atom. This quantum-mechanical emergence implies that the true vacuum is definitely at a higher energy level, which was originally suspected as having infinite energy without a theory to explain why. Therefore, the frequency of the global zero-point energy is then given by the sum of the absolute value of each frequency: f0=|f1|+|f2|+|f3|+…|f∞|. For a particular binary system, the local vacuum frequency is still given by |f1|+|f2|.
