How did you find PF?

In QM, matter is made of standing waves (The postulate of QM and the Schrödinger Equations). The momentum of matter is related to the wavenumber (de Broglie wave). The electromagnetic waves are the traveling waves (Electrical Engineering). Can we expand the hierarchy of waves to the vacuum - a field of microscopic oscillations?

This post should just be to introduce yourself. You should post your question in the Quantum Physics forum.

I can say, however, that matter is made of particles (protons, neutrons and electrons). So, you may want to check your sources of information.
 
Obviously, the qm-tag that I selected was not putting it to Quantum Mechanics. I'm surprised that QM is still completely strange to people that are interested in physics. I thought, there is an introductory lesson to QM at high school.
How should I introduce myself. This is a Physics Forum.

Hello to all that are interested in Physics. I like Quantum Mechanics. It turned out that QM is a specialist topic that still may not be taught at high school.

There are so many things wrong here that I predict a disaster when this thing lands in the QP forum.

You may want to reread the PF rules before dig deeper... or not.

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
