B Does the Feynman diagram process actually exist, or is it just for computation?

i want to known whether virtual particle exist or not , and does exchange of particle really happen in interaction.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can't point to an interaction and say "it was this Feynman diagram". They are tools for calculations in perturbation theory, just like the virtual particles in the diagrams.
I fear everything beyond that is philosophy.

Just to hammer the point: Feynman diagrams are graphical representations of mathematical expressions for different terms in a perturbative expansion. There is nothing more to them than that.
