Focus: Another Step Back for Wave-Particle Duality

Conversion of Photons from Particles to Linked Waves and Back: a Hypothesis

Bruce A. Lutgen

In microphysics, how do photons behave like both waves and particles? It is called wave-particle duality. The wave-particle duality inference would appear to be counter intuitive. Are waves really a cluster of particles, as is often stated, yet like the waves that radiate in a disturbed pool of water as is often demonstrated? The answer to wave-particle duality may lie through the following proposed solid torus or possibly ellipsoid ringform field explanation, which is derived in part using classical physics. A solid torus or ellipsoid ringform hypothesis is contrary to string theory and at least to some extent accepted particle physics.

Wave-particle duality: tribute to the memory of Yves Couder

Yves Pomeau A

The story of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics has been told a thousand times. This modest contribution is to get back to a few points, including memories of a discussion we had on a possible experimental evidence of quantum effects at macroscopic scale, but in a way totally unrelated to the experiments he and his group made quite later to exhibit a model of wave-particle duality. The more general question of interpreting/understanding quantum mechanics will be also scrutinized once more.
