The Philosophy of Vacuum Part 8. Physicists will find it extremely interesting, covering, as it does, technical subjects in an accessible way. For those with the necessary expertise, this book will provide an illuminating and authoritative exposition of a many-sided subject." -John D.

It predicts the existence of antiparticles in relativistic quantum theory the antiparticle came into existence as a hole in a sea of negative-energy particles. In 1972 Heisenberg said I think that this discovery of antimatter was perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps in physics in our century. He was speaking of the phenomenology of pair creation and annihilation processes the .
