Quantum foam is a region of subatomic spacetime turbulence, consisting of short-lived quantum particles and micro-black holes. The existence of quantum foam was derived from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and describes the chaotic nature of matter and energy when observed at a subatomic level. In 2376, an Androssi device activated in an alternate universe caused the quantum foam to interact with a singularity, causing a breach between realities. (SCE eBook: Lost Time)

  • Quantum foam is a "material" at the smallest level of a universe's existence; the very foundation upon which all matter and energy rests. Spacetime bends around quantum foam at very slight increments, meaning that it likely would appear jittery or wavy if one were to observe it. The exact size of quantum foam is unknown; some estimates put it in the yoctometers, while others may have it in Planck lengths or even smaller still.

abstract
  • Quantum foam is a "material" at the smallest level of a universe's existence; the very foundation upon which all matter and energy rests. Spacetime bends around quantum foam at very slight increments, meaning that it likely would appear jittery or wavy if one were to observe it. The exact size of quantum foam is unknown; some estimates put it in the yoctometers, while others may have it in Planck lengths or even smaller still. It is thought that it may be linked to zero-point energy; a type of energy existing at the lowest possible state in a universe. Vacuum fluctuations involving virtual particles create and shape quantum foam using this energy. The exact mechanism by which they do this, and the amount of energy involved, is unknown.
