"Nothing" doesn't exist. Instead, there is "quantum foam"

Quantum physics shows that there is no such thing as "nothing." Even in a vacuum, particles can blink into and out of existence.

Can quantum particles be blocked or contained or otherwise impeded from entering a vessel?

Are they truly just appearing and disappearing or do they just move so fast (like, faster than C) that it only appears that way?
