Comment on 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?

They don’t blip out of existence indepedently, they always annihilate each other. If you have a pair of positive and negative virtual particles, they will come into existence, exist separately for some time, possibly interacting with other, real particles, but in the end there will be some annihilation which ends the interaction and maintains the energy of the universe (no energy is created or destroyed).
