Abstract

Quantum theory accepts the point-like indivisible ("classical") character of a particle as a mere product of a measuring process, or what has become known as a "collapse." Following the notion of empty waves, which accepts the particle as a real existent entity without regard to the measurement process, we propose an experiment that may shed some light on the reality of the particle and the consequences of that reality.
