Actually, I think it's more of a quantum thing

Hi Jim,

The De Broglie [my spelling error] wave is a quantum thing.

In fact Louis de Brolie presented in 1924 that MATTER was composed of
discrete wavelengths (quanta). His was the identical treatment of
Einstein's proposition with light. Both he and Einstein had revealed
the duality of nature, and De Broglie's assertions were proven in
1927. The effect of his work left Schrodinger with the starting point
for his development of quantum mechanics.
