Blog 20180321 Virtual Nonsense from Physical Review Letters
It
always amazes me what you can get published in mainstream journals purporting
to be “scientific.”
Thanks
to reader Piotr Łapiński who writes:
“Oh
my God!:
There
must some kind of break-even point someday for all of that nonsense...”
Aether
deniers have invented “virtual particles” (particles that don’t really exist or
that fluctuate between existence and nonexistence or are simply imagined) to
explain some of their calculations derived from Big Bang Theory. This article,
filled with the usual gobbledygook, has several critical errors. Can you spot
them? The “scientific” article referenced is behind a pay wall. Is that so
taxpayers can’t check on what our money has been squandered on? Only saving
grace: This gibberish did not come from the USA, although Physical Review
Letters is published by the American Physical Society.

I gave up reading the article after about the 5th sentence. When the author resorts to "fudge factors" to make their theory work then anything is possible. I'm not going to strain my brain to sort out someone else's fantasy!
You are right. The same goes for Einstein's 8 ad hocs (fudge factors) to get around data showing light was a wave and not a particle (IUT, Table 6). Massless particles? Egads!
