Actually this doesn't make much sense either! I don't mean the
existence of some medium which is the basis of the four basic
interactions, but rather the name "quantum vacuum". It is obvious
that since it represents properties of space, it cannot be a "void" or
a "vacuum". It should properly be called the "quantum aether" to
eliminate the misleading name. But establishment physics is SO set on
denying the existence of classical aether that they spew the "vacuum"
dogma even in the face of irrefutable evidence that space is filled
with some kind of interesting substance. Which raises and even MORE
interesting question: If space is filled with Quantum Aether, is it
somehow possible to create a "hole" in that aether which would
actually BE a "true" vacuum or void? In other words a space devoid of
all properties (including the four interactions).

Well, provided it doesn't open a black hole and the earth gets sucked
into it...
