ABSTRACT: It is accepted that quantum
mechanics (QM) describes motion of waves and particles. Therefore, we must use wave-particle
duality (WPD), which is usually considered as one
of the foundations of QM; however, WPD is well known as a self-contradictory
concept. These contradictions insensibly spoil our subconscious thinking about
the micro-world (MW). This article shows that known trials to solve these
contradictions are erroneous. Quantum jumps (QJs) are shown to be very lame arguments for the real existence of particles. I offer rejecting the
concept of particles and using their names as labels for types of corresponding
waves. Thus, we can discard contradictions created
by WPD. This approach is validated in the article by careful analysis of real
calculation methods of quantum electrodynamics (QED). For the first time, it is
noticed that proper 4-coordinates of particles are not in use in real calculations in QED. This implies that particles do not take part
in real calculations, which describe properties of atoms and molecules. It
follows that particles do not exist as such. Therefore, we must acknowledge that we actually use the names of “particles” merely as names of types of given waves, but not as real, physical
objects.
