The article titled "Zero-point energy", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy, contains a referenced entry that is Not corroborated by its reference. This entry appears twice in the article.
The statement is "Recent experiments advocate the idea that particles themselves can be thought of as excited states of the underlying quantum vacuum, and that all properties of matter are merely vacuum fluctuations arising from interactions with the zero-point field." It is tied to reference [10].
Two statements contained in this entry are not corroborated by its reference. They are
1) "...particles themselves can be thought of as excited states of the underlying quantum vacuum..." 2) "...all properties of matter are merely vacuum fluctuations arising from interactions with the zero-point field."
A close reading of their reference does not support either of these statements. I removed the statements, but they're reappeared after 2 hours without comment as to how they're supported by their reference. Further editing by myself will only result in a deletion-reinsertion battle.
Please have someone with a background in particle physics review these statement and their reference for accuracy. If they're not valid, please remove permanently remove them. 73.217.123.108 (talk) 01:32, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
