On the Quantum Field Energy Filling 'Empty Space'

from Google AI:

Quantum fields are fundamental components of reality in quantum field theory, and they carry energy. This energy is not a continuous flow but rather quantized, meaning it's carried in discrete packets called quanta. Even in the absence of particles, quantum fields exist and are associated with a minimum energy, known as the zero-point energy. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Quantum Fields as Fundamental Components:

  In quantum field theory, fundamental forces and particles are not described as separate entities but rather as excitations of underlying quantum fields. 
• Quantum Nature of Energy:

  Energy in quantum fields is not continuous but exists in discrete units, called quanta. For example, a photon is a quantum of the electromagnetic field. 
Quantum Fields and Particles:
Particles, like electrons, are considered to be localized excitations or "ripples" in their corresponding quantum fields. 
Energy in the Vacuum:
Even in empty space (the vacuum), quantum fields are not completely empty. They still exhibit fluctuations and are associated with a minimum energy, called the zero-point energy. 
Zero-Point Energy:
This zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy a quantum field can have, and it's a consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. 
Quantum Fluctuations:
These fluctuations in quantum fields are continuous and lead to the "bubbling" of particles and anti-particles in the vacuum. 
Examples:
The electromagnetic field, the strong nuclear force field, and the weak nuclear force field are all examples of quantum fields. 
Quantum Field Theory:
Quantum field theory is a framework that describes how quantum fields interact and how particles are created and annihilated. 

So why is Dark Matter/ Energy affected by Magnetic (vice Electric) Fields? 

ie - Axions transitioning into Photons and visa versa

Different Emergent Particle Affects for Different Field Types? Or Fields Immanent to the Quantum Field (Gravity)?

The Metaphysics of Science...Transcendence is a property that emerges from Immanence in the form of movement and time and consciousness (locality)?

What did the Observer know, and when did he know it?
