...llow the "island rule," even though several of the classical "island-rule" factors (reduced habitat, predation, and competition) may not apply.

...quantum properties of the so-called 'void'. Within classical Physics the void is a simple absence of all matter and energy while quantum theory tells us that in fact it is a seething mass of quantum particles that constantly appear into and disappear from our observable universe.
