Elecron is neither a particle nor a wave.Particle behaviour is explained by classical mechanics and so as wave phenomenon by wave mechanics.Similary electron behaviour described by quantum mechanics.Do I really know what is this quantum bevahiour of the electron .This topic intrigues me all the time.Formal education taught me some principles and equations explaning some of the things about Quantum Physics.My engineering degree in Electronics doesn't help either in giving satisfactory explanation over this quantum bahaviour of fundemetal particles like photon/electron/proton.
My current level of knowledge on this subject doesnot help in good appreciation of this subject.Yesterday I have decide that I need to spend more time on the exploration of this subject.I have got Feynaman Lectures (3 volumes of lectures on Physics).I have bought the book 'Road to Reality' by 'Roger Penrose'.I have downloaded video lectures of stanford university on this topic .
Hopeful I will endup understanding to a better extent on this concept of Quantim behaviour and QuantumPhysics sometime soon.
