what do smoke detectors release?
Actually, my best advice for you is to use gloves only if you feel that they will improve your performance. Otherwise, if you feel that they won't make a difference, then you should not get them.
It falls out of Quantum Mechanics. A vast over simplification: Think of the classic picture of Time-Space a a stretched rubber sheet with grid-lines. The sheet vibrates and the nodes where the lines cross have little balls (mass, not really but we need the concept that the grid-lines have momentum where the lines cross. JUST A CONCEPT!) OK. The little balls get into resonance and create a quantum wave which we see as a particle-anti-particle pair. So we just got some mass out of the energy of the vibrating sheet. This does NOT violate Conservation of Mass/Energy because we made a particle-anti-particle pair which can annihilate and give us the energy back. Vacuum Energy is the elastic energy stored in the stretched rubber sheet of Space-Time. This is why we get Hawking Radiation from a Black Hole. The Black Hole streaches Space-Time putting more elastic energy into the rubber sheet Lots of particle-anti-particle pairs
