Exactly, virtually particles are just that, virtual. The reason scientists had to name them virtual is because they are not real. They pop in and out of existence so fast that they can't be really considered to exist. Furthermore, if you did say that they really existed it would negate the laws of thermodynamics because the laws of thermodynamics says matter cannot pop in and out of existence. Case closed.
