yeah... but no...
this energy transfer is something inherent to the way the universe is.... mmmm-kay... basically if we subscribe to string theory as an example, esch point like subatomic partcle can be repreesented as a string or some other higher dimensional shape...
its like a quark is seen as a point, but only because thats the bit of the vibration that pokes through into our observable universe, whereas in fact the quark may be more like a vibration on a rope (1D), or a drum skin (2D) or in a fluid (3D) or even higher orders... we just see the set of vibrations which appear in our useable dimensions... so whilst energy can travel in and out of these other dimensions, its only energy that is part of the subatomic processes...
have a look at the extra dimensions bit here ->
