Cover Story: Wave–particle duality, which implies that particles may behave like waves and waves like particles, is a widely accepted principle of quantum physics. Hence, it is not surprising that people are questioning theories that do not support a wave function description of single photons. Here, we compare two equivalent approaches that make such a description possible. One of these approaches localises field vectors, but requires non-Hermitian methods. The other, which localises the carriers of fields, so-called blips, does not. The fields of each distinct blip are non-local and blend together, much like how the canopy of a line of trees becomes homogeneous despite each tree having a distinct trunk. Careful attention needs to be paid to the physical interpretation of non-Hermitian descriptions. View this paper

Several candidates for antihelium events have been found in the AMS-02 experiment. They cannot be created by natural astrophysical sources and, if confirmed, imply the existence of antimatter stars in our galaxy. This immediately reduces the class of...

We introduce a new symmetry, light-cone reflection (LCR), which interchanges timelike and spacelike intervals. Our motivation is to provide a reason, based on symmetry, why tachyons might exist, with emphasis on application to neutrinos. We show that...
