*Yes but.... some terms in the Fourier expansion of a square wave _DO_
exist. As I said in my previous post, there is almost always more than
one way to derive something in physics or mathematics.

But those terms don't exist in the wavelet expansion of a square wave or
many other decompositions of the square wave. So they only "exist" for
certain interpretations of "exist".

*I believe virtual particles exist for a number of reasons, the
most important being experiments insist that they do. If you
assume that virtual particles are real you are then able to make
the most precise theoretical prediction not just in physics but
in all of science, one part in 10 trillion. The theory of Quantum
Electrodynamics, which is about virtual particles, predicted that
the electron's magnetic moment should be approximately
0.001,159,652,181,643, the most accurate experimental measurement
says it's approximately 0.001,159,652,180.*
