Zero point energy would be infinite because time becomes infinitesimal. It must be finite. Because it manifests in particles it is quantized. When they appear they do not move. They are not relativistic.

More imprortant when do virtual particles spring into existence? It must be totally random statistically with heavy particles appearing less often and the electron most often.

Different particles are differently charged. Some do not experience certain forces at all. They are uncharged. These different virtual particles would have different effects on matter depending on their forces. Like charged virtual and matter particles will only effect each other.

If these virtual particles effect each other could they come together as virtual hydrogen the simplest virtual atom?

Virtual paticles 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... smile.gif

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? unsure.gif

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.
