Wave-particle duality: The mystery keeps unfolding

what is the origin of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics? This is an unsolved mystery in modern physics. In the latest research, I propose a possible explanation for the origin of wave particle duality. At the same time, I also proposed a feasible way to explain the origin of quantum and quantum entanglement.

Abstract We demonstrate that the interference effects observed in the double-slit experiment can be explained by our recently developed theory of critical relativistic nonlinear fields. Within this framework, there is no mysterious “duality” at all as particles are just field resonances highly localized in space-time that occur as critical transitions in waves initially of infinite spatial and temporal extent. As such, observed wave-like interference effects of ’particles’ in not mysterious, but rather expected.

On the question of wave-particle duality, from the historic Bohr-Einstein debates a century ago, to this day, the view expressed in Niels Bohr’s Complementarity Principle has become well established, confirmed by numerous experiments: If the observation is for wave nature, then the particle changes to wave, and if the observation is for particle nature, then the particle remains particle. However, recently this view has been challenged. With proof based on the definition of wave function, it has been shown that particle always remains particle and its wave function always remains wave, no mysterious change from particle to wave and vice versa.
