Old shaky hands aiming a looking glass at one of two moving elephants standing close by each other would tell a different story, perhaps.

I'm not sure how well established Virtual Quantum Noise is, but saying that an empty place contains this is just wrong. If it has an effect in the propagation of a real particle in to said space, it wouldn't be empty anymore. That's confusing, and it might be helpful to note that these quantum fluctuations happen on the boundaries of the space, not just everywhere (and if they did, they wouldn't matter any more than my imaginary friend the pink elephant Safr riding the fluctuations).

You are talking of black holes, by the way, aren't you?

I did say "on the boundaries", though
