From another thread, I was talking about vacuum energy and its relationship to hawking radiation.

I need someone to critique what Im remembering:

Particle pairs rely on some kind of field of energy to pull from to come into existance, right? They're more prevalent in high gravity? And they convert this energy into the mass/energy of the pair?

As the universe expands, does the rate of vaccuum energy change? Will a cubic unit of space have more, less, or the same amount of vacuum energy after it has (in effect) doubled in volume via dark energy expansion?
