I Can particles exist without duality?

[pittsburghjoe]

Does Duality serve any other purpose than preventing investigators from fully understanding the framework of our reality?

What do you mean by "duality" here (there is more than on kind), or "framework of reality"?
Guess you could mean "wave particle duality", but there is no such thing outside secondary school, and pop sci tv shows (and sci fi).
Used to be a thing, it was an attempt to help investigators understand part of the physical world, and it actually did help investigators get that better understanding... aaand science moved on.
Still don't know what you mean by the other thing... and is the color of the text supposed to mean something?

 

[pittsburghjoe]

Yes, wave particle duality. I want to know if there is a natural reason for it to exist.

The color thing is just an embarrassing mistake, I fixed it.

framework = being able to understand quantum fully ..without mystery

 

[Simon Bridge]

I just explained that "wave particle duality" does not exist... but maybe you are thinking of something else. What do you understand by this?

In general the natural reason for physical models to exist is that Nature behaves that way.
Unless you mean something else by "natural reason"... please be precise.

It doesn't exist? Did I miss a memo somewhere? Doesn't the double slit experiment prove that it does?

I'm asking to go deeper than "cause, that's just the way it is". Lots of things have a purpose, maybe this magical particle-wave has one other than driving scientist crazy for the last 100 years.

Scientists make models which explain measurable things, then test them.
How is this preventing investigation of reality, have you a better idea?

 

[pittsburghjoe]

They are not allowed to measure ..that's the problem.

I have a theory, but I'm scolded on this site whenever I mention it.

no it doesnt. the results are well understood using statistics.

... what do you mean by "purpose"? You keep using vague terms in non-standard contexts you can pseudoprove anything.

nonsense... scientists are allowed to do any measurement they like... this is how scientific theories get support, or are disproved.

... get it peer reviewed and published first, and you won't get scolded.
I suggest you learn how QM works first though.

 

[pittsburghjoe]

Statistics that help you sleep at night ..even though you know it doesn't explain the real question.

purpose! Yes, like: "do I have a purpose in life?" I want some positive feadback on duality, cause the only thing I can think of is negative.

Yes, they can do the measurement and then let the quantum scale laugh in their face

Are you offering to review it? haha

Apparently so - the notion of wave-particle duality was abandoned when the modern mathematical form of quantum mechanics was discovered in the 1920s. You won't find it in any textbook written in the past half-century or more, except perhaps as a historical footnote.

Doesn't the double slit experiment prove that it does?

No, as that experiment is also consistent with the modern formalism.

I'm asking to go deeper than "cause, that's just the way it is".

The way to do that is to work your through a serious textbook and learn what quantum mechanics really is.

As those thread is based on mistaken assumptions about what the theory is and says, we can close it.
