Viktor Toth virtual particles math disproven by Nobel prize scientist lab experiment results

Why would I have to explain the power series expansion of an integral in a mathematical derivation?

Oh, I get it. Thanks to persistent misunderstandings combined with bad popularizations, “virtual particles” imply a mental image of things, miniature cannonballs, “popping in and out of existence”.

That is not what virtual particles are, Feynman diagrams or flashy YouTube videos notwithstanding.

We model an interaction between fields. This is the fundamental mathematics of quantum field theory. To tame the equation, we rewrite it using a Fourier transformation, which yields an integral expression. To calculate that integral, we break it down into a series, with operator-valued coefficients. We can then picture each term in this series in our minds as a “virtual particle” and even invent clever bookkeeping (to make sure we do not accidentally lose a term here and there) using cute little diagrams that show “interacting virtual particles” which then “pop in and out of existence”, doing “vacuum fluctuations” or whatever.

But that is not physical reality. That is just mathematical bookkeeping.........

"Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have succeeded in creating light from vacuum
  –   observing an effect first predicted over 40 years ago.Since their existence is so fleeting, they are usually referred to as virtual particles. Chalmers scientist, Christopher Wilson and his co-workers have succeeded in getting photons to leave their virtual state and become real photons, i.e. measurable light. ...“Relatively little energy is therefore required in order to excite them out of their virtual state. In principle, one could also create other particles from vacuum, such as electrons or protons, but that would require a lot more energy.”

Sir John Pendry:

Freed from constraints such as reciprocity and energy conservation, these systems can enable new and exotic wave behaviours.
