Conservation of Energy and Quantum Fluctuations


Regarding conservation of mass-energy Wikipedia says: "this is an exact law, or more precisely, has never been shown to be violated."



However, regarding quantum fluctuations, Wikipedia says here: "That means that conservation of energy can appear to be violated, but only for small times".


I thought to resolve the two conflicting statements by proposing that the virtual particles from quantum fluctuations are created/destroyed from the "noise energy" of the uncertainty principle. Hence, the energy is already there. Is this correct?


If this is incorrect, how can we resolve the two?
