    Graduate Does particle at rest behave as wave?

    I appreciate this haha. You're the man

    Graduate Does particle at rest behave as wave?

    Fair enough. Correct me if I'm wrong so we're basically at the point where we know what a particle might do but have no idea why it might do it.

    Alright so even though a particle at rest has a wavelength of infinity it's still a wave?

    Graduate Does particle at rest behave as wave?

    I understand and can accept the wave particle duality and uncertainty principles but the thing that bothers me so much is apparently particles with momentum take on wave like properties for no reason. I'm going to either figure this out or go crazy. Why physics? Whyyyyyyy??! Thanks for helping...

    Gotcha. Is this a valid way of thinking about it? A picture gives you 0 information about what's happened before or after, while a video doesn't allow you to observe an instant.

    Wouldn't you be able to determine both the momentum and position of a particle at rest? Wouldn't a particle at rest behave only as a particle and not as a wave? Never mind I get it now you would never be able to observe a particle at rest.
