Mediating particles of forces.

[marcgrissz]

We know that there are 4 foundamental forces and that they work thanks to mediating particles:
Electromagnetic= Photon
Weak= W & Z Bosons
Strong= Gluons
Gravitational= (Graviton)?

My question is:
If the electromagnetic field and unlimited range and a particle interacts with another even if they are years light farther in a moment, Doesn't the mediating particle have to be faster than light?
Same for the not-yet discovered Graviton.

Its this virtual particle thing - the so called mediating particles don't really exist.

But - yes - in the mathematical formalism we sum all paths including those traveling FTL.

But its simply the formalism - they don't really exist.

Thanks
