Virtual particles have virtual waves.
Well, real waves con be considered being formed by the virtual particles.
The virtual particles have virtual waves, the virtual waves "have" even more virtual particles... and so on... Go on...

Zero point energy would be infinite because time becomes infinitesimal..
Why it should be? The energy density of vacuum is a quite high, but not the infinitesimal. Why and when the time should become infinitesimal?

Real waves formed by virtual particles. Not a water wave. Not a light wave.(How could an electromagnetic wave form from a particle? It is changing magnetism and changing electricity) Virtual light can't produce real light. Probability waves again not virtual particles.
Why should time become infinitesimal? If it is continuous you must then shrink the duration all the way. This raises virtual energy to infinite. If time is quantized it would be different.
