Wave it around

The wave/particle duality isnโ€™t really a duality.

Much that has been written about physics is complete crap, not surprisingly.

There is no there there. The electron is neither a particle nor a wave. Sometimes it is just convenient to think of it in one way or the other.

The electron is its own thing, both both* and neither.

The double-slit experiment is still very cool, but when you really understand electrons and fields, it is obvious rather than mysterious.

*I love it when I can validly duplicate words like that.

    • These days, I avoid Word except when I can’t at work.

      I’m quite enjoying Pages on the iMac. It’s not perfect but it actually has a decent UI, instead of the dreaded Ribbon.
