Vacuun has been banned by quantum physics as a direct consequence of the Heisenberg's principle of indetermination
Not quite but I think I know what you are trying to say.
The vacuum, in physics terms, is the lowest energy state. It is true that a vacuum of "exactly" Zero is impossible due to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle between Time and Energy... but that doesn't mean that a lowest energy state doesn't exist, just that it's not always zero and not always constant. But we still use a vacuum in our calculation so it hasn't been banned, merely redefined.
