If a virtual particle dips or blips out of existence then where do they go? Do they come back at a different point showing movement when the blip occurs? Are they some how different when returning? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Virtual particles are still only theoretical. I think of them as a mental model of mathematical objects that arise when we try to calculate interactions between real particles.

I know there are some experiments like casimir effect that are attributed to virtual particles. But, it is possible to explain it in other ways.

There are two posts. The duplicate.

Are Lemmy and Mbin the same instance? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Short answer:

All Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and mastodon instances send posts to each other using a common language.

So you can potentially see everything in the fediverse from your instance.
