Quantum Physics (I): Wave-Particle Duality 量子力學 (一)波粒二象性

wave particle duality does not exist. Define a wave. A wave is a process of transmitting force over a distance through a medium. A wave does not exist.
A wave is a process not a noun. Check out "Ken L. Wheeler" also check out www.thunderbolts.info

You can think of wave as the process of transmitting energy through a medium, this is perfectly fine. Or, you can think of the wave as a manifestation of the energy being transmitted. These may just be different ways of defining the wave. However, I think the definition I used is more conventional, as for example we normally think of water waves on an ocean as a physical thing, rather than a process. Interesting perspective though and thanks for your bringing this up @brainkerr !

A wave is what you get when projecting a point revolving around a circle on its axis ! At least that the trigonometric definition.

A signal spectrum is modelized as sum of wave with different frequencies ( point moving at different speed around the circle), using fourrier series.
