> You know that everything around us is both matter and wave at same time (wave-particle duality). Right? I.e. small bit of matter surrounded with wave. It's not quite like that. Imagine a particle whose location we don't know, so we're obliged to make an educated guess about where it is. That's the wave interpretation. Later on we actually observe the particle at a specific location. That's the particle interpretation. My point is the wave/particle duality idea doesn't mean there are particles riding waves like miniature surfers -- it's more like making a statement about where a particle is likely to be in advance of observing it, given certain statistical rules. > Unlike regular matter, waves are propagating through space, by contraction and expanding of a field. Not necessarily contracting and expanding -- that would be true of a longitudinal wave like sound waves in air, but not an electromagnetic wave in space, which is transverse. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Sound/tralon.html http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Sound/tralon.html > Because of particle-wave duality, when matter is moving, EM field around matter expands and contracts at high frequency. Right? No. See the transverse/longitudinal link's explanation.
