<h2>Summary of the Yukawa Particle and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Revisited</h2>
<ul>
<li>Yukawa’s idea of virtual particle exchange as the carrier of forces is crucial, with virtual particles being formed in temporary violation of the conservation of mass-energy as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.</li>

<h2>Glossary</h2>
<h3>pion</h3>
<p>particle exchanged between nucleons, transmitting the force between them</p>
<h3>virtual particles</h3>
<p>particles which cannot be directly observed but their effects can be directly observed</p>
<h3>meson</h3>
<p>particle whose mass is intermediate between the electron and nucleon masses</p>
