Maybe its the same thing just bigger?

Yes I have heard that one....do particles "pop into and out of existence '?
Are you aware of what observation draws this conclusion?
Could it be that our ability to observe particles changes..ie the particles remain in reality but it is our ability to observe changes such that it is convenient to describe them as "popping" into and out of existence...perhaps an extension of the un certainty principle? I dont know obviously but feel by talking may learn something.
I find the notion of existing then not existing nonsense as a knee jerk reaction and certainly before I assign any credibility to the notion would enjoy reading the evidence in support.
So if we follow this 'quantum fluctuation notion" all the particles of the universe somehow popped into existence ... That would seem an extraordinary claim and as such should be accompanied by extrodinary evidence...
