"My Journey to Matter as Waves" is an autobiographical article by Jeff Yee published on 24 April 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
Yee describes how studying string theory in the late 2000s led him to doubt the direction of modern physics: digging into particle physics produced more questions rather than fewer. Working outside academia, and so free of the constraints of funding and grants, he found himself asking how ten or eleven dimensions could ever be demonstrated, and why particle physics had yielded so little that reached the engineering world. The article traces the path from those questions to his treatment of matter as waves.
