Hi Roger, Sure, neither do I. But if you preform the double slit experience you will see physical wave-like patters of interference. If it quacks like a duck... I'm not a materialist and I have no problem with the idea of the physical world being a dream. But I also believe that all experiences ar

Hi Telmo Menezes I don't pretend to be a physicist, but I do know that quantum waves are probability functions. There are the radius and time t in the Schroedinger equation, so there must be some correpondence to the physical world, but nothing physical is waving. So suppose we have a phy
