+**Virtual particles** are fleeting energy fluctuations that exist for brief moments, emerging from the quantum vacuum. Though not directly observable, these ephemeral quanta mediate fundamental [Forces](/wiki/force) and interactions between real particles, crucial for understanding [Quantum Field](/wiki/quantum_field) theories. They represent a temporary borrowing of energy from the vacuum.
