Always? Have you any new argument to add?
We could also discuss if the elctron was a particle or a wave.
In the last poll there is not a single vote yet.
We could? Okay, so if memory serves the electron is a particle that can pass through a barrier as a wave (quantum tunneling)
And apparently electrons have mass, but no volume or weight... ?
@kilroy70 saidIn fact mass implies weight (if there is any gravitational field). Volume is a difficult concept at those length. But as a wave there is no volume.

Yes electrons can tunnel (wave) electrons behave like particles in a one slit experiment and like a wave in a double slit experiment. The question remains: How does the elctron know if there are one or two slits...
Anyway we would be off topic here.
And the conspriracy poll:
Nature of the electron
0% wave
0% partice
0% neither (see comment)
67% both
33% The Lizard people know all about it.
