First time visiting and posting here but I feel there is likely no better place to ask such a question.
I understand virtual particles can become real particles in empty space that gravity is introduced into. Gravity will lower the net energy of the universe allowing (or maybe forcing) the virtual particles that are popping into existence everywhere to stay a little longer and become real, permenant particles in order to rebalance the energy to zero and make the space stable (if that is an accurate way of looking at it)
My question is this: would the process of introducing gravity into "empty" space, thus forcing the spontaneous transition from virtual to real status of the present particles, cause an increase in temperature/radiation?
The reason I ask is because I watched a Krauss lecture and got to imagining the following scenario. A "bulk" in which gravity resides and permeates is where our universe pops into existence and expands within. Gravity, perhaps due to being a "closed string" or whatnot permeates the bulk but also our universe.
In the early universe there is no positive energy to balance out the negative energy being introduced into it by the gravity within which it is expanding and to compensate matter starts coming into existence. I'm wondering if this might be a viable model but it is untenable with the background radiation however, unless this process produces radiation/heat.
And if it does it seems like it would lead to the requisite almost uniform distribution of matter. The gas would come out mostly uniform because the virtual particles are everywhere and would transition into "real" status almost uniformly but each individual virtual particle has its own unique random velocity before it transitions so the following real particles would be uniform with but a random assortment of velocities.
Lastly, an apology as I am not formally educated on these matters, nor do I have a degree of any kind to speak of, and I am sure to most that frequent these forums my views are ignorant. I thank you for your patience and help in setting me straight.
