Considering empty space is not empty, particles are continuously created and destroyed. Theoretically can a photon off incoming light be destroyed then be re-emitted? If so, when it is regenerated would it not be with a speed relative to the frame of the local empty space?

Could that then explain why light is always measured at speed c?

Those are virtual photons that are being created and destroyed in vacuum, not real ones with speed c.
