It appears that what the physicists are saying (not unanimously BTW) is that particles and sub-particles can suddenly burst out of nothing, as long as the net energy of what is produced is zero.
Can you link to something on this? Again, what I've read on the subject is that a vacuum is generally not considered to be nothing due to the space-time of the universe, and we obviously can't study something outside our universe.
