Wave-Particle Duality and the Double-Slit Experiment
How can particles behave like waves and vice versa? What causes the interference pattern in the double-slit experiment?
Timothian Model's Short Answer...
Pieces of matter in the medium move collectively to propagate waves & interact kinetically on contact with objects.
Details
Explains the phenomenon through chunk medium dynamics:
Particles are chunk configurations; waves are chunk medium oscillations.
The slits create specific patterns of chunk medium disturbances.
Interference results from interactions of these chunk medium oscillations.
Explains both particle-like and wave-like behaviors without duality.
Provides a classical, mechanistic explanation for a quintessential quantum phenomenon.
