Standing Waves in Particle Physics
Particles in nature, such as electrons, can be visualized as standing waves that vibrate even when stationary. The vibration reflects their energy, which contributes to their mass. This concept of standing waves explains the varying masses of particles in particle physics, emphasizing that particles are not static when at rest, but are vibrating entities with energy.
