which brings us right back to, are we observing a particle, or a wave?

Both.

All particles are going to turn out to be waves I reckon.

Both.

Or neither, since they can be created and annihilated according to the theory of quantum electrodynamics.

Ah! But you've not heard of QED because it became popular less than 40 years ago when you learnt about electricity and haven't updated since?

so has anyone got a simple answer to my question ? LOL

..........methinks your subject has been hijacked a little, to answer your question, most of the stuff you use in your house doesn't care which way you plug it in, but for safety's sake you need to keep all of the protective and switching devices in the positive side of the circuit.


As for QED? You really think that's new?, first muted in the early twenties and discussed in the then popular thought experiments shared by the likes of Shrodinger and einstien, now you're really entering into the low level realms of quantum mechanics where you can prove an atom has parts that change state from energy to matter and vice versa, which leaves the question of where does it live in between? Then we get onto superstring theory , multiple dimensions........AAAAAAAGH! get the straight jacket ready FFS!!!!

Jeez - it's going to be really hard to swap the conductors over in all my plugs 100 times a second - are you sure I have to do this?
