So there's sort of like a emptiness. The rest of the universe is biased towards having a little bit of energy,. then that vacuum somehow creates like a it sucks stuff in basically. Yeah, it's really fascinating because it lowers the energy of space there below the vacuum energy. Typically, we think the vacuum energy is the lowest. But if you create this special configuration, you can bring the energy ofspace below the vacuumEnergy.
