From: mpc755 on 23 Jan 2010 19:23 As far as I know, de Broglie was the first to define wave-particle duality as any moving particle or object had an associated wave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Broglie). This is exactly what is occurring in nature in a double slit experiment. The 'particle' travels a single path and the associated wave propagates available paths. When the associated wave exits the slits it creates interference which alters the direction the 'particle' travels. Detecting the 'particle' causes decoherence of the associated wave and there is no interference. If you want to understand what is occurring in double double slit, 'quantum erase', 'delayed choice', or any other experiment consisting of a probability of a particle traveling a particular path all you have to understand is the 'particle' has an associated wave. The 'particle' travels a single path and the associated wave propagates available paths. If you want to take de Broglie's definition to the next step in order to understand what occurs physically in nature then a 'particle' has an associated aether wave. If you want to understand what is occurring physically in nature in double slit, 'quantum erase', 'delayed choice', or any other experiment consisting of a probability of a particle traveling a particular path all you have to understand is the 'particle' has an associated aether wave. The 'particle' travels a single path and the associated aether wave propagates available paths. In AD, a 'particle' has an associated aether wave.
