The Particle-Wave Duality of Humans

Abstract

This research aimed to elucidate the duality of body and soul in humans by using quantum physics to conceptually explain the body of light and energy of near-death experiencers. The idea of particle-wave duality was initially proposed by Louis de Broglie, a physicist, in 1923. He suggested that matter could display both particle-like and wave-like characteristics. It was developed to describe the behaviour of microscopic entities, such as light and electrons. This study extended the concept non-empirically to humans and called it “The Particle-Wave duality of Humans. From quantum physics, the particles within the human body may even act as waves outside the body after death or during near-death experiences (NDEs). Individuals who have had these experiences reported feeling as if they hovered above their lifeless bodies as entities of light and energy. Given that matter can occupy both particle and wave forms, the intertwined particles in the human body behave as waves (soul) and can depart from the body at death. These waves contain energy, which aligns with the law of conservation of energy, stating that "energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another." The energy carried by these intertwined particles changes into light energy, carried by light waves. The soul is non-corporeal (meaning it has wave properties). By introducing the concept of quantum physics into near-death experiences reported, we concluded that a human exists as a particle in a physical realm and as a wave in a non-physical realm.
