Abstract
Abstract
Virtual particles are expected to occur in microscopic processes, as they are introduced, for instance, by Feynman in quantum electrodynamics as photons performing in an unknown way in the interaction between two electrons. This note describes macroscopic virtual particles as they appear in classical evanescent modes and in quantum mechanical tunnelling particles. Remarkably, these large virtual particles are present in wave mechanics of elastic, electromagnetic, and Schrödinger fields.
