Despite their author, de Broglie waves for ordinary (bradyonic) particles are often considered without physical signication, mainly because they are tachyonic. I revisit some of de Broglie’s original ideas and discuss the standard approach to the problem, the \wave packet overlapped to a de Broglie wave. Using Pseudotachyonic Theory, it’s easy to conclude that this tachyonic wave actually exists but may only be detected with the same velocity of its associated particle. Furthermore, in what comes to \dualities, it appears that wave and particle are not two aspects of the same thing but instead two different though intimately correlated entities. These reections concern the physical nature of de Broglie waves, including particles \internal vibration, and lead to the premises of a new general Field Theory. Including positive as well as negative

September 2023 marked the centenary of “Ondes et quanta”, a paper in which French physicist Louis de Broglie proposed that matter is associated with a wave motion, and which ultimately won him the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physics.
