In this post I am referencing the following 'Sixty Symbols' video: Casimir Effect & Black Holes

The video mentions that the Casimir effect can be used to prove that virtual particles are created from the space vacuum (2:15 - 4:55). Under certain circumstances, some of these virtual particles can be turned into real particles, seemingly when a particle and its antiparticle are separated (4:57 - 7:19).

Is this enough evidence that space and matter are fundamentally the same and therefore are interchangeable? Can space be converted into matter (and vice versa)?

At the risk of significant downvotes, it is important that we at least consider the possibility of new ideas and new physical models if we wish for science to move forward. There is a model named Scale Metrics in which space and bound mass (which can be thought of as tiny singularities) couple to form matter. In this model all matter is derived, in part, from space. If interested, I will let you research this on your own (or at least ask for more information); however, do realize that this is a new idea that has not been heavily reviewed.
