What the fuck is a matter wave?

Photons are wave packets made of EM waves.
Matter particles are also wave packets, but made up of matter waves.

Are we seeing a pattern? Next ask yourself what a field is.

Not much, what's a matter with you? :^)

When matter displays wave-like properties. Such as a beam of electrons diffracting. Though the term is largely antiquated now, as this idea was formulated prior to modern QM,

An abstraction

Nature doesn't know or give a fuck about any of this shit we invent to describe natural phenomena.

It just wants to pressure-mediate, for god's sake!

Does a photon actually have to BE anywhere? Just because electromagnetic energy transfer is quantized doesn't mean that there has to be a little blop flying between the two things, right?
