If the photon is the force vector for EM interactions, e.g. electrons, how does each electron 'know' where the other one is so that it can send it a photon? I've thought about this for a while. I know one could easily say "that's why they're virtual", but really this just says to me - "it's magic, and we don't really know, but it helps us to figure things out, and we haven't a clue how things REALLY work".
