What are Particles Really?

  • Thinking of sub atomic objects as particles muddies the water
  • Starting with an understanding of wave theory
  • Knowing particles are waves, the weirdness is less weird

Electron Standing Waves

  • Current flow is more like a sound pressure wave
  • Each electron is kinda doing its own thing
