Can someone reassure me that this is a silly question?
You know the way virtual particles are suposed to pop in and out of a (quantum?) vacuum ?
Well my question is whether there could be any connection between this (pretty much accepted albeit bizarre) process and the fact that the fabric of Space-Time is in continual expansion? (can you see why I might think this?)
As a non scientist I think I get a waiver from being embarassed at asking stupid questions ..
So maybe someone who does know a bit of what they are talking about just tell me that there is no connection here....
thanks!
