The sound analogy is good, I can understand sound travelling in waves and harmonics which are also present but on a different level, sometimes they can be perceived by the ear and sometimes they are not depending on their frequency. But it appears to come down to states? in that a particle can be in different state at the same time. It makes absolutely no sense to me, sorry, but thanks for trying.
I'll stick to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics for this - but note that what I am saying is not true if de-Broglie-Bohm theory is right for example. In the standard theory of quantum mechanics particles exist in linear superpositions of states. This is identical to a soundwave with harmonics. The difference is when an observation of ...[text shortened]... ther true or not true they have to be wrapped up to take account of the superposition of states.
