Physicists have shown that protons can spontaneously pop into and out 
of existance in a vacuum.  My questions are:

1.  How frequent is this occurance?

and

2.  Since this should be a uniform occurance across the universe, 
even between galaxies, could the "instantaneous" mass of these 
protons account for the dark matter that is missing?
