What exactly is intrinsic energy and how does the premise

energy and time, imply that empty space has intrinsic energy?
Also, how can one conclude that Einstein's formula leads

Most uses of the phrase "intrinsic energy" are just pseudoscience
garbage. What "Einstein formula" are you referring to that relates
to "the vacuum of space can generating" particles?
Perhaps you are revering to "vacuum energy".

E = mc^2 is the formula I'm referring to.

OK--This is more complete and takes into account an object's momentum,
which is observer dependent.

m^2 = E^2/c^4 - p^2/c^2

For the case of rest mass only

E = mc^2

is sufficient. See: Mass-energy equivalence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-energy_equivalence


But how does that suggest that the vacuum of space can
generate particles?



I doesn't--Do a bit of reading about vacuum energy

.
