The Wave-Particle Duality Paradox

Contents of This Brief

• The problem: The wave-particle duality paradox and its supposed contradiction in quantum mechanics.
• The misinterpretation: Waves are not fundamental entities but labels for pulse distributions over time and space.
• The resolution: Particles (including photons and electrons) are self-contained pulses of energy. Wave-like behavior is just an emergent description of how these pulses interact.
• Key implications: No duality, no need for conflicting models, and a refined interpretation of quantum experiments.
