- WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY
CURRENT PARADIGM
- WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY is the concept that every elementary particle or quantic entity may be partly described in terms not only of particles, but also of waves. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts "particle" or "wave" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects. Current scientific theory holds that all particles also have a wave nature (and vice versa).
This phenomenon has been verified not only for elementary particles,
but also for compound particles like atoms and even molecules. For macroscopic particles, because of their extremely short wavelengths, wave properties usually cannot be detected. (Wikipedia - 06 Apr 2012)
- WAVE:
A disturbance, oscillation, or vibration, either of a medium and moving
through that medium (such as water and sound waves) or of some quantity
with different values at different points in space, moving through
space (such as electromagnetic waves or a quantum mechanical wave
described by the wave function). (American Heritage Science
Dictionary)
- PARTICLE: An elementary particle, subatomic particle, or atomic nucleus. (American Heritage Science Dictionary)
- WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY: The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike
properties by a single entity. For example, electrons undergo
diffraction and can interfere with each other as waves, but they also
act as pointlike masses and electric charges. The theory of quantum
mechanics is an attempt to explain these apparently contradictory
properties exhibited by matter. (American Heritage Science
Dictionary)
MALTA TEMPLATE
- The graviton is the fundamental particle.
- All other objects in the Universe are made out of numbers of gravitons.
- Waves can be induced in gravitons en masse.
- Waves can be induced within objects made of gravitons.
- Waves can be induced in objects made of gravitons, en masse, if their density is sufficient.
COMMENTARY
An oft-quoted example
of wave-particle duality is the twin-slit experiment (Young's experiment) in which light is
projected from a source through a pair of slits to a screen. In this
experiment, different results are found when the screen is viewed
closely and when it is viewed from a distance. Close observation
shows photons arriving at the screen individually. Distant observation
shows the photons arriving at the screen in a pattern of bands. The
twin-slit experiment is most commonly demonstrated using photons but
the effect is equally reproducible with other particles, most notably with water and air molecules. Thus it is
reasonable to suppose that the effect is universal and reproducible
using any objects that are massed together in sufficient density,
provided they are able to survive the necessary collisions. - When objects collide, mass and/or energy is transferred from one to the other.
- When objects of one type are massed together, each object tends to harmonise its collisions with those of its neighbours.
- The harmonisation is apparent in waves of increased/decreased mass and energy/density and speed.
- The harmonisation effect is amplified when the objects are confined - as in a slit.
The
effect is easily explainable in objects that can be
accelerated and decelerated. Photons are commonly supposed
to move only at lightspeed and this is true - but not 100%
true. If photons collide they will exchange mass and energy. just like
any other particle, the effect of which is to render them
understable or overstable. The automatic restabilisation process soon
returns them to stability but in the brief moment they are
not stable they will be moving above or below lightspeed. Thus it
is that when massed together photons pass through a slit they will form
waves which are detectable in the twin slit experiment. That
the above needs to be empirically confirmed by observation and or
experiment goes without saying. However, when attempts at confirmation
are made, the following aspects also need to be taken into account:
