This was the answer I was after, thank you!
Additional question that's related, if you'd like to try it: I've read about vacuum energy/zero point energy - hawking radiation exists because of those theories. From what I've read, vacuum energy has the potential for any form of matter but because of the uncertainty principle, less likely to produce higher forms of energy, and thus why most fluctuations produce only virtual particles. My main question then is: so no matter what, all of space ether has matter or potential for matter? If so, should a photon actually collide with a virtual particle it would actually stay in physical existence)?
Thank again
I would assume I'm not interested in any of the associated crackpot ideas some have.
If a photon collides with a particle, virtual or not, then the particle will eventually emit another photon.
