I am very confused how a virtual photon can be transmitted from an electron to a proton and cause them both to come closer to each other? Could just be my ignorance, but how can emitting a particle (virtual or not) cause a Fermion to move in the direction the particle was emitted? Or perhaps both the proton & electron emit virtual particles, causing the opposite Fermion to move in the direction the virtual photon came from? Clearly I am thinking of this wrong. But hopefully you can straighten me out.

And I did not even get into the momentum of the virtual particle (if that is even a thing) causing a change of momentum in the destination Fermion of the OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I guess the Third Law does not hold for virtual photons? You can see why I am highly confused....

Can you say something about how in a dynamically growing black hole the exact position of the event horizon is not definable locally until the movement of distant mass is decided. How does this combine with firewall models?

Space Time is almost 10 yrs old! 😃 You've created such an incredible, high quality show and also been sooo consistent with it. How do you do it? ...and what do you have planned for the anniversary? 👀
