I was taking one step at a time. It’s an age thing!
You will recall that above I suggested that a “particle may be no more than a contracted description of the full wave”.
Let’s look at the rainbow analogy: You rightly point out that it cannot be measured accurately, but if you photographed a rainbow with sufficiently good equipment, you could, in principle, locate every drop of water, every particle and every photon. Of course, they would no longer be there by that time, the illusion would have passed. Somehow you have to capture an instant in order to make your measurement.
I am wondering if the reality we perceive is just a series of “snapshots” of an overarching reality which we cannot grasp in its entirety, but can see only when it is reduced to these snapshots. I’m not suggesting a spiritual realm, just a cosmos that is greater than our Universe and may be quite different in essence.
