Abstract: In elementary particle physics the philosophy of virtual particles is widely used. We use this philosophy to obtain the famous inverse square law of classical physics. We define a formal model without fields or forces, but with virtual particle - information transmitter. This formal model admits very simple (school level) interpretation with two classical particles and one virtual. Then we prove (in a mathematically rigorous way) that the trajectories in our model converge to standard Newtonian trajectories of classical physics.
