[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4329510, member: 27098"] Been a while since this was brought up (about 20 or so years for me!) however yes, virtual particles so apologies for bringing you down that rabbit hole, spontaneously generated, both matter and anti matter. How we know is in matter anti matter annihilations, very specific energy levels of gamma rays are emitted. I think positron electron annihilations generate a 512 MEV gamma ray signature, cannot remember proton/anti proton annihilation. BTW, want some antimatter? You probably have some in your kitchen cupboard! No Salt, or Potassium Chloride has a small percentage of Potassium 40 in it, a Positron emitter. A Geiger Counter can pick up the gamma ray from the positron electron annihilation. [/QUOTE]
