Where is the environment that you experience?
If a virtual particle so-called is not (as I described) assigning (or ascribing) particle status to energy, then how come it is that you cannot tell me what it is?
A virtual particle, just as a real one, is defined by science. The defining quality of a virtual particle is that its properties don't exceed the limits placed on it by the Uncertainty Principle.
Go ahead and crash your car into a telephone pole (especially in a city), and see if nothing observable results. You can pretend that nothing that just happened is real all you wish, but consequences will come whether you want them to or not.

Circular explanations. How does science “define” anything? How does the uncertainty principle (itself uncertain) define anything either? Science is supposed to be a record of observations, in its purest sense; if the energy interactions are what is observed, then inserting “virtual particles” to fudge the numbers is specious.
