If a particle is not a point but a wave, then where is it actually located? (No Google!) (Patreon)

it exists everywhere the wave propagates simultaneously until the actual particle is observed?

That’s a great question! I have -probably - a silly question, If it’s not a point, can’t a particle’s wave be contained in a space? Maybe that’s the wrong question.

Not silly at all😌 Yes, a particle’s wave function can be contained in space, that’s what we call a bound state. For example: electron in an atom. It’s trapped by the electric field of the nucleus. But even there, the electron is not sitting in one place: its wave function fills a whole region around the nucleus (what we call orbitals, remember school chemistry?:)
