Abstract

Solution is presented to the simplest problem about the vacuum backreaction on a pair creating source. The backreaction effect is nonanalytic in the coupling constant and restores completely the energy conservation law. The vacuum changes the kinematics of motion like relativity theory does and imposes a new upper bound on the velocity of the source.
