Yes. This is why Physicists will reject the "everything is a wave theory" till the bitter end. They become frustrated when faced with the un-measurable.

There is no "quantum wave", there are only waves. Immeasurable, undefinable waves.

> There is no "quantum wave"

Earlier you wrote, "Everything is a quantum wave." You also linked to an article titled, "The Everything-Is-a-Quantum-Wave Interpretation of Quantum Physics."

You seem to be contradicting yourself.

Yeah, I can see how it looks that way. I did not say everything is the quantum wave. I said everything is a wave, but the research paper i linked to uses the sloppy term Everything is a quantum wave. While I agree with the author I disagree with the title and terminology

I quoted your own comment: "Everything is a quantum wave."

Yes, again I apologize, for my sloppy writing.
