Experience: Étude « Perspective on wave-particle duality »

-- January 2023

Contemporary physics uses two approaches to describe the behaviour of energy and matter : classical and quantum. The classical view describes atoms and other small things of nature as "particles" which are seen as spherical and finite entities. The quantum view describes these as boundless waves defined by a "wave function".

These two views are considered perfectly valid as they allow predictions about physics that have already been observed.

In the quest for grand unification of physics, a kind of theories called "string theories" describe these phenomena as oscillating strings that seen from an angle can appear as spherical.

This 30 second video loop is the result of an experiment with WebGL particles playing with these concepts.
