Matter as Waves

Hi Folks!

An old report from 1928, we aren't the first to think
along these lines, reminds me of Dr. Who and his
vibratory knife that separated tissue, unzipped it so
as to not rupture and spill the interior fluids, so by
upping our vibrations we could pass through matter;

SOLID MATTER MAY BE WAVES

So-called "solid" matter—the bricks of our homes, the
sidewalks we walk on, in fact, even the tissues of our
own bodies, may consist ultimately of waves, or
vibrations.

Such is one of the startling conclusions that might be
drawn from experiments at the Bell Telephone
Laboratories in New York by Dr. C.J. Davisson, in
collaboration with his colleague, Dr. L.H. Germer. An
extended account of the researches is given by Dr.
Davisson in the Journal of the Franklin Institute.

The experiments indicate that electrons—one of the
important parts of the atoms of matter—may really be
waves, and not the infinitesimally tiny particles that
previous scientists have supposed them.

What Dr. Davisson and his associate have done is to
study the way that a beam of electrons, given off from
a glowing electric light filament, is reflected from a
crystal of nickel. They found that the electrons were
reflected in the same way that light waves would be
reflected.

That is, if the beam hit the face of the crystal at an
angle of 45 degrees, for example, it left at the same
angle. As the physicist expresses it, "The angle of
reflection is equal to the angle of incidence."
