Force transmitted by exchange of (unobserved) particles
e.g. Electromagnetic force
Two electrons exchange short-lived “virtual” photons

Compton “scattering” of a photon & electron
….. via virtual electron
Bubble chamber photo of electron tracks (photonsdo not show)
Green = electron/positron pair creation
Red = Compton scattering
