8. But to a physicst there is no such thing as nothing. Matter is made of particles, and empty space is simply anti-particles. These antiparticles quickly form and, in accordance to the law of conservation, annihilate each other in about 10 to the -25^th seconds back into nothingness

9. So Aristotle was right all along.

10. These virtual particles popping in and out of existence create energy. According to quantum Mechanics, the theoretical energy contained in the empty spaces of these words are more than the energy generated by all the power plans and nuclear weapons in the world.

In other words, nothing could be the key to the theory of everything.
