DUALISM OF NATURE.
It is known that everything in the world –
both living and nonliving - consists of atoms and molecules.
#
All particles can be in motion.
In chaotic motion they can attract, repel and collide each
with other and the result can be creation of temperature.
Temperature is some kind of thermal radiation.
#
There are another kind of particles.
These particles behave in an unusually strange way.
They don't like interact each with other.
And sometime they are not even particles, but EM waves.
Researchers say - they have a double nature.
When it's convenient, they say it is a particle.
When it’s uncomfortable, they say that it’s wave.
Or vice versa.
Researchers called this agreement with the word "dualism".
A kind of teaching about the holy twin.
#
Not everything has "double" nature.
Not all quantum particles have "dualistic" nature.
"Dualistic" nature has only particles that can create EM waves.
Particles that create thermal radiation don't have “dualistic" nature.
#
Turning to atom (electron + proton)
An electron has "dualistic", active nature
(can be as a wave, as a particle, as an antielectron)
A passive proton doesn't have "dualistic" nature
(cannot be as a wave, cannot be as an antiproton)
=========….

Quantum particles have been defined as a "Point"
Duality of the quantum “Point”
"Figaro here, Figaro there,
Figaro up, Figaro down,
Swifter and swifter I'm like a spark:
I'm the handyman of the city.
Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, very good;
Fortunately for you I will not fail.”
#
“Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, Etc..
Alas, what frenzy!”
/ Rossini, opera 'The Barber of Seville'/
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Point or Geometrical Figure
For most physicists, each quantum particle is a "point", which in the laboratory
can be manipulated at their will and then create modern technology tools.
Thank you for this work.
But in Nature this "point" existed before the first physicist was born.
If this "point" does not work - no problem, it is a dead "point" and physicists are right.
But if this "point" acts (for example, like a Planck quantum of action)
then in Nature it must have a geometric shape.
Most in the box-laboratories don't have time to think about free quantum particle in Nature.

Hardly, "everything," consists of atoms and molecules.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons do not consist of atoms and molecules.
Plasmas do not consist of atoms and molecules.
Life, consciousness, and minds do not consist of atoms and molecules.
Language, knowledge, science, history, and news do not consist of atoms and molecules.

Only physical entities and substances that can be directly perceived (seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted) consist of atoms and molecules. That's certainly not everything.

The result of accepting the quantum particle as a “point”:
