Are Particles Theoretically Tangible?

[vulcanlogician]

Thread read, but I'm still wondering, has wave-particle duality been fully explained?  

Has *anything* been fully explained? I think of the wave-particle duality as a raw fact.

I remember in high school puzzling over this when we had to read about it in our textbooks. I kept asking her how something could be both a wave and a particle. Her short answer was: "it just is."

Raw fact or no, I have sought an "explanation" of the phenomenon via pop sci articles and YouTube channels.

What made the most sense to me (as a layman) is that the wave is an expression of the potentiality of the "particle's" location. When you narrow things down (ie. measure it) that measurement is going to mark that particle at a specific place and time and thus, when measured, the phenomenon is more particle-like.

I'm aware that's a pretty basic and bastardized explanation. That might help Jair with his befuddlement over QM, if that indeed is a correct way of seeing QM.

A LOOOOONG time ago, Iggy posted this video about an experiment where photons were sent through a series of filters. The experiment showed that the uncertainty principle isn't a "measurement" problem. It's a "locality problem." I doubt he'd remember it or I'd ask him to repost it here.

(aw fuck it) on the off chance @ignoramus ... do you remember that video? It was like 4 years ago, so no worries if you don't.


edit:

(I actually found it! So nevermind, Iggy.)
