As the title says. Virtual particles are to my understanding “particles that come into existence at random with their anti-version, they collide and eliminate one another”.
Are these particles made of something?

The current thinking soars to be that the most basic of particles – the quarks,gluons, mesons, baryons, leptons- whatever are actually the physical manifestation of vibrating strings of energy. A certain type of string *s* vibrating at frequency *f* produces an electron, while string *S2* vibrates at frequency *F2* and produces a Higgs Boson.
See? Different string types, different vibrational rates yield different particles. Then those particles come together to form larger particles, then atoms, then molecules, proteins, and there stands Bob. Bob’s your uncle.
Mind you, this is a very simplified version of how SOME physicists think things are put together. I happen to agree with them, which is why I expound on this theory.
I hope this Heros you understand that elementary particles CANNOT be made of elements like gold, aluminum, or Hydrogen. Elementary particles are billions of times smaller than even a Hydrogen Atom. Elements are not in the picture there.
