The Zero Point Energy in Quantum Mechanics Is Negative
There are factors that determine how massive a given string will be. In quantum physics, particles and strings are usually not allowed to be completely at rest. The energy associated with this minimum amount of quantum activity is what we call the zero point energy. That means our equation is actually more like mass squared equals a plus b minus c.
