But it is difficult to form a mental image of a object that is both a wave and particle.

Maybe EVERYTHING is just waves of energy. No such ting as a 'particle' its just an illusion, but is kind of handy for us to think of...
Well anyway maybe everything is waves.

Compared to how things work on a quantum level wave/particle duality seems like a cake walk IMO. At quantum levels logic seems to fly right out the window.

I would've agreed before I took a course in quantum mechanics. I think the physical interpretation may be a bit weird, but once you see the mathematical backing to it all, at least to me, it all made perfect sense.

Haven't you ever thought that there is something wrong with wave particle duality?

Really math was never my strong point so that could be my problem. But when I hear that objects on the quantum level can exist in two places or states at the same time, or even arrive some place before it even left I find that hard to understand
