The QM realm has proved, of late,
To be a fundamentally fuzzy state,
Virtual pluses and minuses popping out at any old rate;
That is, there is no cause,
For there are no hidden variables.
This is not quite a Nothing,
But near ‘nothing’.
Virtual particles may cancel
And go back into the QM realm.
If Nothing were exactly zero,
Then this ‘vacuum’ would not be vague and fuzzy.
Thus, an absolute Nothing cannot exist.
Its very definition means that it is not to be,
That it could not even be there at all.
So, there were but quantum jitters;
There was only ‘possibility’ forever.
Oftentimes, the QM virtual particles
Spring into existence and vanish quickly,
Although they can interact and remain real.
If not, they have to vanish so quickly
That we cannot directly see them.
If we could see them, then the QM realm
Would not be a vacuum, but,
If they were not there
The vacuum would be exactly Nothing
And so it would violate the vague and fuzzy rule.
None of these happenings are invisible,
Like the many supernatural claims,
For the fuzzy ‘nothing’ has effects
That we can compute and measure.
So, there is no cause, no purpose!
Does this make us go into a deep dark funk?
No, for it is our glory that we are free to be.
Our responsibility is thus of our own making.
