"All vacuums have vacuum energy"

From Wikipedia:

"However, even if every single atom and particle could be removed from a volume, it would still not be "empty" due to vacuum fluctuations, dark energy, and other phenomena in quantum physics. In modern Particle Physics, the vacuum state is considered as the ground state of matter."

Consider when we create a vacuum jar? Even were we to remove every last particle (and ignoring the facts of the above paragraph)...what is in the container that has dimensions? Clearly it is something because it is there. Something is everywhere! We cannot LOOK anywhere or GO anywhere without looking there or going there. Where is there?! Definitely somewhere!! :-)
