Thanks Bill_K. That helps a bit. Its almost as if you knew about the violent storm, quantum foam etc, that I read about! Those exact words even. If the vacuum state is time independent then that definitely takes care of the issue I was wondering about. Ok. Is this the correct...

Well. Thanks. I guess. So does that mean virtual particles don't work the way I assumed? Or are virtual particles something of an old theory that has been disproven some time ago?

Layman here. Two questions on Virtual Particles. I am not trying to make some claim to spontaneous generation, just curious about how to expand the holes in my knowledge... which is about the level of a post grad engineer who likes to buy the popular physics books in stores to read. 1)...

Thanks!

First time poster: Is there any math out there that prohibits the following scenario from taking place: Alice and Bob are entangled. Is it possible to detect that Alice is entangled, without measuring Bob and without destroying the entanglement (or causing decoherence)? Note: I am not...
