Wave particle duality doesn't refer to the forces acting upon it.

The anology you proposed regarding an ocean wave made up of particles is inappropriate and not analogous. You are confusing aggregate behavior of molecules with individual behavior.

Quantum physics is counter-intuitive and based on probability. If you try to use macroscopic examples to explain subatomic particle behavior, it may not be correct.

Wave particle duality refers to a specific, observable phenomenon.

Thomas Young's double slit experiment confirmed that light had wave like properties because of the interference pattern observed upon irradiating a near wave-length sized double-slit that will result in a diffraction pattern consistent with wave-like behavior.

When the double slit experiment was performed by bombarding the double slit apparatus with electrons, a similar wave-like interference pattern was detected.

Similarly, there is other empirical evidence that confirms light, even though exhibiting wave-like probabilistic behavior, also possesses discreet quanta of energy, or paeticle-like properties. Wave -particle duality refers to sub atomic particles that have discreet physical parameters as well wave-like probabilistic behavior.

Why is there a superposition of both types of behavior, particle and wave, when we intuitively would assume that is not possible? That is what quantum physics attempts to elucidate mathematically. I am not smart enough to understand how. Hopefully I will be some day but I doubt it.

probabiliy refers to the size of your probe, you can only probe things to a limited precision.

the duality between electricity and magnetism, means magnetism will convert into electricity, because theyre basically aspects of the same phenomenon. in the double slit experiment there is no conversion of electron into wave, because they are already the same thing. without particle there is no wave, but both are imaginary, the moon is also a "particle".

light is imaginary and defined as the duality between particle and wave, the real known phenomenon thats happening is magnetism, magnetism may convert to electricity and then into some unknown force, but we can sum it up as one single wave.

Oh shit, my bad. You're retarded I shouldn't have engaged you.

Sorry brah, I think you are the one that might be retarded. Quantum mechanics is mostly made up shit. Electromagnetism is the observable and more importantly testable physical reality of the universe.

See Alfven Peratt, La Pont, SAFFIRE project. Unkike your science.

your brain is a mere part- icle. you only got only the little-brain, the "cerebellum".
