Are force carrier particles actually real?
"The accuracy and use of virtual particles in calculations is firmly established, but as they cannot be detected in experiments, deciding how to precisely describe them is a topic of debate."

Define "real"

It's all woo-woo bullshit.

As in, they possess existence, even if it is temporary or goes against what we know of the laws of physics.

you answered your own question with the quote, that is very likely but no experimental evidence

Virtual particles are a part of our model of quantum fields, but as they cannot be detected they will remain that - a model. Who knows what the fuck is actually going on.
