Virtual particles are theoretical particles which have been hypothesized to exist in order to explain certain things in quantum field theory. However, by their very nature, virtual particles can never be observed. In that respect their existance is not falsifiable. But the idea of them has proved very useful.

Virtual particles are viewed as the quanta that describe fields of the basic force interactions, which cannot be described in terms of real particles.

I don't like physics.
