Well in addition i think the guy is Japanese or Korean or something so english probably isn't his 1st language. But the concepts themselves are tricky to explain anyway.

I have no idea; I don't think anyone really does, though. An alternative explanation is this theory of "", but I don't know much about it, if it is actually "real" energy in the physical sense or whatever. But basically I don't think anyone has a definite answer for that one.

I don't really know of any links that explain it well, when I was looking for a link to post I just googled Heisenberg + uncertainty+ virtual particles and went from there. Some of the links were way too technical for me and others too general, so I looked around until I found one that was at my speed. I'd say if you're interested you could do the same and find one you can follow. That might take a little time, but I don't really know any other good links to start you off with - I thought this one was pretty good but I guess not. There's tons of stuff on it out there though, it's just a matter of finding one you can follow.

Well you cannot directly observe this, but there are observable effects that virtual particles have that can be measured. The best examples I know of are the , a small attractive force which acts between two neutral parallel conducting plates that is caused by quantum vacuum fluctuations of virtual particles; and , in which a virtual electron/positron pair is attracted/repelled by the charge of a "real" electron, causing a net polarization of the vacuum which screens the real electron's charge to a measurable degree.

So it's kind of like a black hole; you can't directly see it, but you can observe the effects it has on other objects/phenomena, like when the gravity of a black hole affects the movement of a nearby star.

I don't really know Hawkings' view on the creation of the universe or how it disagrees with Guth's.

Like I said, I don't know of any links that explain it very clearly, so just google "virtual particles" and surf around until you find something you can follow.
