<b>The Wave-Particle Duality Paradox</b>

Contents of This BriefThe problem: The wave-particle duality paradox and its supposed contradiction in quantum mechanics.The misinterpretation: Waves are not fundamental entities but labels for pulse distributions over time and space.The resolution: Particles (including photons and electrons) are self-contained pulses of energy. Wave-like behavior is just an emergent description of how these pulses interact.Key implications: No duality, no need for conflicting models, and a refined interpretation of quantum experiments.
