I’ve read that particles can behave like particles and can also behave like waves. How literally can this be taken though? Does this essentially mean what we call particles transform between particle states and wave states on the quantum level? Are particles becoming waves, literally, which then are waves that become particles again?
Yes! Some exotic experiments demonstrate this, using light from distant stars.
