The concept of nonexistence and the nonexistent (the non-being) of the Muʽtazilis, has a relationship with the concept of vacuum in contemporary physics. This school of thought believed that the nonexistent is something, contrary to what the Ash'aris adopted. The Muʽtazilis hold that the nonexistent are jawāher (substances) in the vacuum but lack occupancy (taḥayyuz). This means that the nonexistent are virtual jawāher (or virtual particle. Accordingly, a number of questions can be raised: is it possible to have an agreement between this concept and the concept of the vacuum as offered by quantum field theory? Is there a useful utilization of this concept for the relativistic quantum theory of Dirac? What does it imply if we envisage the re-creation of the virtual state to be at work? Can daqīq al-kalām present clearer vision in this regard?
This is a topic that has been preliminary treated in my paper entitled "re-Creation: a possible interpretation of quantum indeterminism. Adopting the principle of re-Creation allows us to understand many problems in quantum physics more clearly.
