Quantum wave-particle duality effects in the double-slit experiment as a manifestation of criticality of relativistic nonlinear wave fields

Abstract We demonstrate that the interference effects observed in the double-slit experiment can be explained by our recently developed theory of critical relativistic nonlinear fields. Within this framework, there is no mysterious “duality” at all as particles are just field resonances highly localized in space-time that occur as critical transitions in waves initially of infinite spatial and temporal extent. As such, observed wave-like interference effects of ’particles’ in not mysterious, but rather expected.
