This is a theory. Theory meaning it has never been proven. Waves are a description of motion in a substance. The substance can be made of particles but the motion of the substance can not be a particle. Motion is not a thing....
Please. consider what I am saying. Please don't just tell me that 300 years of smarter people have proven me wrong. I really do enjoy this conversation. Thanks.
P.S. You say "This is an experimental fact very well understood theoretically"
I ask "fact or theory?"
I know the answer. I am asking the question in the attempt to bring this to your consciousness. There are no facts in the prosses we call science. Science is a prosses.
"Theory" has a very well defined meaning in science, and it is not what you wrote.
In addition, one of the core ideas in quantum mechanics (how can it be a lie when a huge fraction of the world economy relies on its properties?) is the duality between waves and particles. See my other reply and check out the double-slit experiment. This is the proof.
Sorry but I cannot. You have not backed up any of your claims, and you simply mentioned that everything we have learned during the last 300 years consisted of lies (despite tons of experiments and applications). This is not how science works. We have experiments, data, and people (remark: not only people).
You cannot throw away previous knowledge without a reason. If you want to replace the currently admitted paradigm by something else, the something else should at least explain all observations made so far as much as the currently admitted idea. Without this, we don't gain, but we lose understanding, This is how novel ideas emerge.
Both. We have experimental data, measurements or facts. Then you have a theoretical framework that can be used to derive predictions for the observations in the past, current and future experiments. This theory can of course be falsified (that's part of the definition of a theory).
So far, the Standard Model of particle physics has not been falsified. It is therefore the currently admitted paradigm. Throwing away theory and data without a good reason makes no sense. Claiming they consist of a 300-year conspiracy also requires a proof, that has not been presented.
