Fractal Wavicles and the Incomplete Standard Model

Realm of the Quantum

John Keats


There is a persistent view of the material world in which every object
is composed of separate particles, called atoms, which are themselves
composed of still more separate particles, called subatomic particles.
Those particles which cannot be divided into smaller parts are called
elementary particles, or quanta, making them the ultimate substance of
the entire universe. This picture of things gives us convenient and
useable model of what the physical world seems to be, such as in the
Standard Model of particle physics, but the more we come to understand
just what quanta are, the more we begin to see how limited this
classical view is. First of all, matter and energy are both composed of
quanta and today are considered to be merely two different aspects of
the same thing, which could be called, in the tradition of spacetime,
matterenergy. Even the distinction between a particle and a wave
becomes fuzzy in the quantum realm. Quanta can literally act like
either a particle or a wave, which has led to their being referred to as
wavicles.
