Particle-wave duality, you know...

Illusory. My primary care quantum mechanician says "Fields. Every
particle. It's all fields. The Universe is made of fields."

No, variations in those fields give the illusion of being particles.
And particles may sometimes give the illusion of being waves. But that
doesn't matter. It's the particles that count.

Nature isn't cough particular about the choice of terms.

The mechanism must be truly universal and work in all possible conditions of gases, liquids and matter in all gravitational fields.

It's lucky there is so much space for the "particles" to play out their lives. Just grazing in the fields and surfing the waves.
Until somebody discovers their secrets and harnesses their energy to make a better widget. ;-)
