Meaning mass fills empty space. In a double slit experiment it is the mass which fills empty space which waves. John Bell describes what occurs in a double slit experiment according to de Broglie's wave mechanics. ('Speakable and unspeakable in quantum mechanics', Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (1987). Page 166) "While the founding fathers agonized over the question 'particle' or 'wave', de Broglie in 1925 proposed the obvious answer 'particle' and 'wave'. Is it not clear from the smallness of the scintillation on the screen that we have to do with a particle? And is it not clear, from the diffraction and interference patterns, that the motion of the particle is directed by a wave? De Broglie showed in detail how the motion of a particle, passing through just one of two holes in screen, could be influenced by waves propagating through both holes. And so influenced that the particle does not go where the waves cancel out, but is attracted to where they cooperate. This idea seems to me so natural and simple, to resolve the wave-particle dilemma in such a clear and ordinary way, that it is a great mystery to me that it was so generally ignored." In a double slit experiment the particle travels a well defined path which takes it through one slit. The wave in the mass which fills empty space passes through both. As the wave exits the slits it creates wave interference. As the particle exits a single slit the direction it travels is altered by the wave interference. This is the wave guiding the particle. Strongly detecting the particle exiting a single slit destroys the cohesion between the particle and its associated wave and the particle continues on the trajectory it was traveling. Let's label the mass which fills empty space it. In a double slit experiment, it waves.
I think this is backwards. Here is my logic. Particles, like the electron are the same in all references, but wavelength and frequency are not, since these are reference dependent. We see this as blue and red shift. The particle is the gold standard since being an electron does not depend on reference, only the associated wave is easily tweak by reference. This wave dependency is how we can infer the universal red shift as a function of standard electrons under different reference conditions. If we ran a double slit experiment. with elections, electron particle can go through either slit, but not both, at the same time. While the wave can go through both slits at the same time, but not just one or the other like the particle. The more exacting particle leads the less exact wave. What this suggests is the particle follows nearly a continuous path, while the wave follows a quantum path, defined by its wavelength. The particle can move with steps that are much smaller, than its connected wavelength. If the particle reaches the slit and there is less than a full wavelength developed, the previous full wavelength will follow the particle through the slit(s), like a wake. Below is a boat moving in a continuous (particle) fashion (yellow foam path behind the boat), followed by a wake/wave that have quantum wavelength steps.

The star in the following image is moving through and displacing the mass which fills empty space. The bow shock wave is out ahead of the star. This is the same physical phenomenon which occurs for a particle moving through the mass which fills empty space. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! In a double slit experiment the wave is out ahead of and along side the particle. When the wave exits the slits it creates wave interference which alters the direction the particle travels.
If that were true since the detector only detects electrons there would never be an interference pattern. The detector cannot detect waves of some medium.
