Who said they only exist for a short time? Or that they "exist" at all?
Perhaps the Higg's Field is basically a Mico Black Hole as the Boson does give Mass to Matter, hence Gravity, where specific particles with virtually no Mass wastes "No Time in Space" traveling through the field and can travel faster then the speed of light. Consider these as quantum grey particles bordering Mass and Energy.Other than some discussion that the Higg's Theory isn't entirely incompatible with the idea of micro black holes, I've seen no such evidence.
So basically what you're saying, Z15CAM, is that you reject our reality and substitute your own. You are certainly well within your rights to do that.
Ok I still need to further clarify my question because no one seems to understand what I'm asking.
Most of you are re-iterating that the speed of light is the maximum. I realize that and that is not what is in dispute.
Let's say you have 2 electrons separated by 1 trillion miles of empty space. Presumably the action between the two is mediated by virtual photons that travel at the speed of light and no faster.
How did the virtual photons travel 1 trillion miles at the speed of light if they only hang around for infinitesimally small periods of time?
There is not enough time to travel such a large distance since the speed of light is their maximum speed and they only exist for a short period of time.
They would have to exist for longer periods of time to travel that far at the speed of light and if they existed for long periods of time we would be able to detect them.
I believe I have a solution but I'd like further discussion and an understanding of what I'm asking before I post my possible solution to this problem.
Thanks for the discussion so far you guys are great to bounce ideas off of.
Biftheunderstudy: That's ancient doctrine - Prior to 1964 and not recognized until spring of this year when the Higgs Boson Particle was seen and identified. Basically a Particle that gave Matter Mass which we can see or can't see (Dark Matter - Big Question).
The Photon Particle has never been isolated or identified other then I speculate it's an energy incident when a particle obtains mass with in the Higgs Field ( + or - that is Matter we see or Dark matter we can't see) and what we conceive as Green Radioactivity (Based on Einsteins Hypothetical Photon Particle) tracing back to the Big Bang which only accounts for 20% of the mass of the Universe - Man there another 80% of mass just filling of what we consider to be Empty Space - In other words, NOTHING - But it's full of matter without mass that is the question and concept eliminating time and how we perceive time.
That's why I believe the are Billions of Higgs Fields all around us generating Micro Black Holes that determine what particles have mass and those that don't. That's what we see and why we look at the universe and see one another the way we do.
Just because we can't see it doesn't mean Space is Empty.
Yes Particles like the Neutrino can travel faster then the Speed of Light through Matter without transforming into energy as per E=Mc2 as it passes through the Higgs Field instantaneously (Time is Stopped) without accumulating mass and that's what we see beyond matter "Dark Matter".
You must take what I'm say with a grain of salt but many Physicists do believe this concept and with the positive identification of the Higgs Boson this spring of 2013 does support the theory and Man could conceivably build a Neutron Warp Engine for Space Travel some day.
What's the principle of a Neutron Warp Engine - Think Quasar and the Boson Particle creating Neutrons from matter radiating into space as a propellant contained with in a Higg's Field where time stands still. Don't ask me what your going to use for fuel within the Field but it will probably boil down to containment of Neutrino Particles - LOL
The problem is that you are trying to make virtual photons real. You are thinking of them as a photon going from one electron to another through space-time just like normal. Where they are more a way to help see and think about the interactions.
Actually it's NOT the Photon but the Neutrino that has been observed traveling faster then the speed of light.
If neutrinos are tachyons, this could account for a couple of odd things about them - the exceptionally low cross section (likelihood of interaction) and their oscillating between different flavors (electron, muon, tau). Exactly how is a job for the theoreticians, but it seems to me that a neutral particle moving effectively backward in time and at unlimited velocities coupled with low energies is not often going to interact, and imaginary mass could be likened to a rotation or oscillation, much like many other things involving imaginary numbers in physics.
CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinosthe Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus, or OPERA, which "was developed to study the phenomenon of neutrino transmutation (neutrinos changing from one type to another). The speed of the neutrinos was an entirely unexpected observation."
Whatever with these observations and the existence of God Particle makes for a very interesting time in Particle Physics that questions the Standard Model - enough so to spark one's imagination.
You seem to want to learn about this stuff, but you don't know anything right now. You might want to start with relativity till you truly understand it.
I could say the same thing back to you - All I'm doing is responding OP's question as to why these anomalies crop up and provide reference which you plainly don't other then saying no one but you truly understand relatively.
Paul, in spite of your Quantum knowledge, you have no imagination and are wasting my Time.
What is TIME but for the dismantling and release of energy brought about by collisions of matter where 20% of the parent`s mass is lost. It`s about inversely proportional to the 21 Grams of body mass we loose the instant we die. Einsteins Genius Theory on Relativity provides us with a Model but doesn't take into the account for 80% of the rest. It is plausible that the answer of what we are looking for lies in what Einstein left out and what we take for granted: "LIFE".
Here's a couple good sites if one is interested in Particle Physics - Suggest you brush up your Calculus, Abstract Algebra and Electron-Chemistry. For me Imagination is what drives Particle Physics because we are virtually clueless but it doesn't mean something simple will not prevent us from Exploring Space and Time.

I am guessing you don't start many threads on physicsforums since if you tried to post what you have posted here your thread would be locked.
I am sorry you are trying to sound smart, but if you had any knowledge about what you were talking about you would know you are talking nonsense. and I have no need to brush up on math as I already know it well. I do post on physicsforums quite a bit to help people and occasionally ask a question and keep up with any new information.
Would you be willing to answer a few simple questions to help me know what knowledge you do have?
Photons do not exist. They are mathematical constructs and are rather poorly understood. (Such is the case for all particles.) I cannot explain in "real" terms what all these different mathematical construct particles are, since I am still learning. But I can tell you what a photon is, in "real" terms. It is a transitory modulated wave traveling between two resonating spherical standing waves. See fig 1.4.2 on this page: http://www.spaceandmotion.com/albert-einstein-quantum-physics.htm
