I think Wikipedia articles about zero-point energy and quantum-foam explain this well.

Btw, wasn't there an experiment with a laser vibrating a nano-particle with nearly lightspeed, separating the particle & anti-particle pair before annihilation, creating matter from nothing?

Ah, btw, Casimir effect.
