The vacuum is a vector in a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space often referred to as Fock space. By definition the vacuum wavestate depends on nothing and must be translationally invariant. We show that any such translationally-invariant vector must have a norm that is either divergent or equal to zero. It is impossible for any state to be both everywhere translationally invariant and also have a norm of one. The axioms of QFT cannot be made internally consistent.6 pagesGeneral Physics12E25; 28Cxxtext
