Question: electrons have dual nature in that they are waves and particles at the same time. The wave property of the electron is not our regular wave but is a wave of probability where the probability is of position. Since, the electron is of point size, the act of observation is a "strongly" invasive action. The electron can gain energy from light waves; our day to day observation mechanism, and go off in some direction. So, the wave property is related to observation. But, does this mean that without us observing the electron it is only a particle? In what way are we validated, in the absence of "valid" observations?
