Hyper Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) do anyone know why an electron behave like a wave in wave-particle duality and behave like a particle when observing. i know the answer but just asking to get info from others. have fun thinking about it.........

ajb Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I do not think that anyone knows why. We do however have good models for this duality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In weak measurements, thinking of a particle helps little. In a first approach, you could keep from "particle" that some attributes come in integer numbers, for instance the charge. But if for instance you imagine that an interaction is local, you can forget it. "Know why", I don't think so. It's a theory, not far at all from direct observation, that works very well.
