"Elementary particles are elementary excitations of the vacuum, which explains why they are identical." (pg 4 ref 3) Is this now accepted fact, everything is a wave and there are no particles?

This isn't really a question, all particles exhibit both wavelike and particle like behaviors. What matters is the scale (mass and energy) which determines which behavior will dominate.

The particle-wave duality thing ended like 40 years ago. Particles are just excitations of the associated field.
