The discussion confirms that wave-particle dualism can indeed be replaced by a monistic model, as articulated in the article “Quantum mechanical measurement in monistic systems theory” (doi:10.23756/sp.v11i2.1350). The resolution of the wave-particle duality, as noted by Richard Feynman in his work on Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), indicates that the confusion surrounding light's dual nature was addressed through the advancements in Quantum Mechanics developed in the 1920s. This definitive conclusion underscores the shift from dualistic interpretations to a unified understanding of quantum phenomena.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, philosophers of science, and students of Quantum Mechanics seeking to deepen their understanding of the transition from wave-particle duality to monistic interpretations.
Yes. This is what Quantum Mechanics, as developed in the 1920's, achieved. Here's a quotation from Feynman (page 23 of QED):breakwater said:Can wave particle dualism be replaced by a monistic model?
And that's a good note on which to close this thread. (The paper referenced is a philosophical one.)PeroK said:It was resolved by Quantum Mechanics!
