BRISTOL, England, and NICE, France, Nov. 5, 2012 — It is well-known that photons can act like waves or particles, depending on how they are measured experimentally. But they have never been seen exhibiting both behaviors at the same time — until now.
Since the universal validity of the state function description is asserted, one can regard the state functions themselves as the fundamental entities, and one can even consider the state function of the entire universe. In this sense this theory can be called the theory of the "universal wave function," since all of physics is presumed to follow from this function alone.[7]
Desperate attempts by the conditional ego to 'bind' the unconditional to it's 'dualistic' definitions/boundaries.
Consciousness has no 'boundaries', and conditional 'thought' cannot bind/conceive it, no matter how large your ego! "Consciousness is the ground of all being!

Clearly you have some strong opinions as to how the Universe is organized and who is qualified to discuss.
The more massive an object the smaller the wave aspect.
And while in conservative evaluation that wave aspect is not significant that definition is arguable in relation to the fundamental.
In so far as "No Brainz", explain that to people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

This is real and that same would apply to matter in relation to its wave function...

Matter wave
This article is about wave-like phenomena exhibited by particles of matter. For the ordinary type of wave propagating through material media, see Mechanical wave.
All matter can exhibit wave-like behavior. For example, a beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light or a water wave. Matter waves are a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics, being an example of wave–particle duality. The concept that matter behaves like a wave is also referred to as the de Broglie hypothesis (/dəˈbrɔɪ/) due to having been proposed by Louis de Broglie in 1924.[1] Matter waves are referred to as de Broglie waves.
The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength, λ, associated with a massive particle and is related to its momentum, p, through the Planck constant,
Experimental confirmation
Demonstration of a matter wave in diffraction of electrons
Matter waves were first experimentally confirmed to occur in George Paget Thomson's cathode ray diffraction experiment[2] and the Davisson-Germer experiment for electrons, and the de Broglie hypothesis has been confirmed for other elementary particles. Furthermore, neutral atoms and even molecules have been shown to be wave-like.
The black hole information paradox[1] is a puzzle resulting from the combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Calculations suggest that physical information could permanently disappear in a black hole, allowing many physical states to devolve into the same state. This is controversial because it violates a commonly assumed tenet of science—that in principle complete information about a physical system at one point in time should determine its state at any other time.[2][3] A fundamental postulate of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is that complete information about a system is encoded in its wave function up to when the wave function collapses. The evolution of the wave function is determined by a unitary operator, and unitarity implies that information is conserved in the quantum sense.
Black holes are regions of space so incredibly dense that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. Most are thought to form at the end of a big star’s life, when its internal pressure is insufficient to resist its own gravity and the star collapses under its own weight.
Most scientists believe that, since there is nothing to stop this collapse, eventually a singularity will form — a region where infinite densities are reached and Einstein’s general relativity ceases to be predictive.
But this “singularity theory” has flaws. Since the laws of physics no longer apply in a region of infinite density, no one knows what could possibly happen inside a black hole.
Stephen Hawking suggested in the early 1970s that black holes can slowly evaporate and disappear. But in this case, what happens to the information that describes an object that falls into a black hole? According to general relativity, information cannot simply disappear; inside a black hole, however, information apparently does. This “information paradox” has puzzled researchers for decades.
Carlo Rovelli at the University of Marseille in France and Francesca Vidotto at Radboud University in the Netherlands have attempted to answer this question by exploring the idea that the universe, which is assumed to have started with the Big Bang, actually emerged — because of quantum gravitational effects — from a “big bounce,” following an earlier contracting phase.
“The quantum gravitational effects produce an effective repulsive force, so that matter wouldn’t have collapsed into a singularity, but it would have just reached a maximal compact state,” Vidotto said.
This way, the universe would “bounce” when the energy density of matter reached the Planck scale, the smallest possible size in physics, causing the universe to expand again, and then possibly collapse again, and so on, back and forth. [Alternatives to the Big Bang Theory (Infographic)]
A similar idea has now been proposed for the fate of the collapsing matter of a dying star.
Researchers say that quantum effects — similar to those that prevent an electron falling into the nucleus of an atom — would stop the collapse of a star before it could shrink to a single point, or singularity. The star would then become a super-compact object, bounce back during the evaporation process of the black hole and finally explode. Eventually, everything that would have fallen into the black hole would be released.
Temporal Consciousness
First published Fri Aug 6, 2010
In ordinary conscious experience, consciousness of time seems to be ubiquitous. For example, we seem to be directly aware of change, movement, and succession across brief temporal intervals. How is this possible? Many different models of temporal consciousness have been proposed. Some philosophers have argued that consciousness is confined to a momentary interval and that we are not in fact directly aware of change.
Others have argued that although consciousness itself is momentary, we are nevertheless conscious of change. Still others have argued that consciousness is itself extended in time. In this entry, the motivations and merits of these and other positions will be expounded and assessed.

Essentially what I am saying is that our matter form in relation to its wave state could have something to do with Consciousness and potentially in relation to Biology.
Any thoughts?

It can only be Consciousness that can reflect/see these 'information waves', and, due to Perspective, actually see 'things' in that pile of 'homogenous' original unchanging Universal 'undifferentiated potential', the Universe! God! Self!
Quantum says that perception causes those waves to 'collapse' into some one or another 'Reality'.
The 'waves' do not 'collapse into anything, it is by the glance of Consciousness that anything appears, and it is an 'appearance', 'make-believe' 'matter'.
and potentially in relation to Biology.
Whether a biologist, or any other branch of science, if one is not informed by quantum mechanics, one's 'science' is obsolete, already.

Matter despite the conclusion that it is based solely upon fields is relevant fundamentally as otherwise it would not exist.
.... a photon
... the nucleus
...atom
...nuclear force
and if one wishes to discount that effect as an illusion, well that is arguable fundamentally.
Also our general perception of solidity has more to do with the Electron Cloud.

An interesting side note is that when it comes to Multiverse theory it has everything to do with the electron cloud and not the nucleus of the atom.

To me its not a mirage but rather an aspect and one that allows for life to exist as we understand it.
