Are Virtual Particles Really Constantly Popping in and Out of Existence? Can Laser Make Them Real?

Authors: Victor Christianto

This article is summary of discussion in researchgate.net concerning possibility to use laser to create real particle from virtual particles (Schwinger effect).Virtual particles are indeed real particles. Quantum theory predicts that every particle spends some time as a combination of other particles in all possible ways. These predictions are very well understood and tested. Quantum mechanics allows, and indeed requires, temporary violations of conservation of energy, so one particle can become a pair of heavier particles (the so-called virtual particles), which quickly rejoin into the original particle as if they had never been there.
