But back in 1951, #JulianSchwinger, one of the founders of #quantum #electrodynamics and a 1964 Nobel Prize-winning physicist, suggested that creating #matter from #empty space should be possible, even if there is nothing there to begin with, as long as you perturb that empty space with a strong enough #electric field. Since then, this completely theoretical concept has been known simply as the Schwinger effect. Now, a team of researchers has shown this effect is real by essentially creating something out of pure nothingness.See less
