I've been aware of this for a few years. The fundamental building blocks of all matter are particles that are themselves excitations of fields that behave like waves. In 1801, the double-slit experiment showed that light was a wave, but later experiments showed matter also behaves like a wave. This is why you get weird explanations of quantum physics, like particles being able to be in two places at once, and particles popping in and out of existence. This is because the particles are the crests of waves on an invisible ocean. On large scales, you can't see these waves, but on extremely tiny scales particles exhibit weird and random behavior.
