Why do we say virtual particles violate the law of conservation for a moment if they borrow energy from vacuum that has a density? Isn't it conserved?
That's interesting. But can you explain more about why some people think that the idea of virtual particles borrowing energy from the vacuum violates the law of conservation?
Certainly! While virtual particles themselves do not violate the law of conservation, the fact that they can briefly exist and then disappear does seem to blur the lines a bit. However, it's important to note that the total energy of the system remains constant, so the law of conservation is still being upheld.
