[General] De Broglie Wave

Hi Al,

thank you for your reference. Your paper has a lot of intelligent 
thoughts but also a lot of additional assumptions. With reference to the 
de Broglie wave, I think, is the situation much simpler on the level of 
conservative knowledge. De Broglie has misunderstood relativity 
(particularly dilation) and so seen a conflict which does in fact not 
exist. He has solved the conflict by inventing an additional 
"fictitious" wave which has no other foundation in physics, and also his 
"theorem of harmonic phases" which as well is an invention without need. 
And his result is in conflict with the experiment if we ask for Lorentz 
invariance or even for Galilean invariance. -  If we follow the basic 
idea of de Broglie by, however, avoiding his logical error about 
relativity, we come easily to a description of matter waves without 
logical conflicts. This does not need new philosophy or other effort at 
this level.

Best, Albrecht
