Question about vacuum energy

I know it’s been talked about before, particularly Last Light. My question is, what is vacuum energy? The big thing it it happens when Covert Support Base 4276’s energy extractor goes haywire and Fred looks into the machine, witnessing life cycles of entire universes, and there being a time lapse. The Forerunners also used it for a ton of their stuff, including the Halos. It’s said to have originated from the beginnings of infinite realities (what da hell does that mean?). I’m wonder also is if the Forerunner crystal was constructed using vacuum energy, as well as slipspace bubbles. Still a little confused on what vacuum energy is, and if someone can clear it up, thanks :slight_smile:

I’m going to let someone considerably smarter than me explain it.

Forerunner Feat Thread, subsection on power generation.
There’s also this document from NASA regarding vacuum energy.
