What's the radius of a virtual photon, Cecil?


From _Optics_, by Hecht: "When two electrons repel one another, or an
electron and proton attract, it is by emitting and absorbing virtual
photons and thereby transferring momentum from one to the other, ...
Virtual photons can never escape to be detected directly by some
instrument."
