Turning Waves Into Particles: A Deep Dive into the Duality of Energy
In our understanding of the universe, the distinction between waves and particles has puzzled physicists for centuries. The classical approach categorizes energy forms distinctly; waves oscillate through mediums, while particles possess defined mass and lose their individuality upon collision. Yet, recent explorations suggest a captivating idea: what if we could turn waves into particles? This article will delve into that hypothesis, exploring foundational concepts of energy, non-linear elasticity, and the elastic properties of vacuum.
