Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I will explain what the absolute zero and the absolute emptiness (vacuum/voidVoid ) are in the fields of quantum physics and chemistry. At first one likely believes that there is nothing—no particles at all—in the vacuumVacuum state. Is it correct? The importance of this question even extends to other fields, including philosophy and religion. To answer this question, we must examine the history of modern physical sciences since the early 20th century. Here, I will discuss quantum physics and chemistry, especially solid-state quantum physics and chemistrySolid-state quantum physics and chemistry .
