According to quantum mechanics theory (and answers appearing in MadSci) there 
is a quantum vacuum or quantum foam in which very large numbers of particles 
and antiparticles come into existence and go out of existence every second. 
Near a black hole many of these particles remain in existence for reasons 
explained on MadSci. 

If an observer is in a reference frame moving at .9 c relative to an observer 
in a second reference frame, must at least one observer and reference frame be 
traveling at high velocity through the quantum vacuum? Or, is there a 
different quantum vacuum for the two reference frames and for all the other 
reference frames in the universe, so that the reference frame of every 
observer is at rest relative to its own quantum vacuum?
