Abstract
Quantum mechanics has been eminently successful in twentieth century physics in describing the properties of matter in the atomic domain. It demonstrates that, under some physical circumstances of experimentation, particles of matter behave like continuous waves, while under other conditions of experimentation they behave like discrete particles. The doctrine of this theory is then that of ‘wave-particle dualism’, specifying that the nature of the particle of matter is not ‘predetermined’ — it depends on the way in which it is measured.
