[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4329500, member: 45783"] I was referring to virtual particles, not protons. Technically, even protons cannot be seen either. They can be indirectly observed with partial accelerators. They can’t be formed under normal conditions on earth. They need a high speed collision to form aka the Big Bang theory Found this explanation about virtual particles: According to quantum field theory, virtual particles appear to "come from nothing" in the sense that they spontaneously pop into existence from the vacuum due to fluctuations in quantum fields, but they are not truly created from nothing as they borrow energy from the universe for a very brief time before annihilating, effectively returning the energy back to the system; this is allowed by the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics.
