Hello. Is there absolute testifiable proof that these theories are true or correct?

Can someone for example tell me what a 'quantum fluctuation' is? Is this what can happen
in the 'pure' vacuum of outer-space? Does it also not make sense at all to think of the concept of space as a 'pure vacumn'? How is space different that we happen to live in and the "space-time" continuum.

Thanks for any and all responses
Bye
