I'm no physicist but I've always thought about the wave-particle duality like this: Image you're tracking someone across the country. You have some data that they were in 2 towns 100 miles apart with the hour. They must be in a car! But then, you catch up to them and find their physical tracks. It's a single line. No car could drive like that. They must be on a bicycle. You sit there scratching your head wondering how they could possibly be going by car and bicycle at the same time. The above situation looks impossible if you don't know about the existence of motorcycles. I always thought we were dealing with things that were not waves, not particles but something that shares some of the properties of both. I'd love anyone with a deeper knowledge of physics to correct me/add to my thinking.
