"In the classical physics of Newton and Einstein, the vacuum of space is entirely empty, but the theory of quantum mechanics assumes something very different.

According to quantum electrodynamics (QED) - a quantum theory that describes how light and matter interact - it’s predicted that space is actually full of 'virtual particles' that pop in and out of existence and mess with the activity of light particles (photons) as they zip around the Universe."

So, does this mean that this explanation for Quantum mechanics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIyTZDHuarQ has been vindicated?

i.e. the double slit with the fields being the cause of the oddity instead of... something that is hard to explain.. including the observer effect
