If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before.
Richard P. FeynmanThe electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real.
