  A physically real wave associated with any moving particle and travelling in
a surrounding material medium was introduced by Louis de Broglie in a series of
short notes in 1923 and in a more complete form in his thesis defended in Paris
on the 25th November 1924. This result, recognised by the Nobel Prize in 1929,
gave rise to a major direction of "new physics" known today as "quantum
mechanics". However, although such notions as "de Broglie wavelength" and
"wave-particle duality" form the basis of the standard quantum theory, it
actually only takes for granted (postulates) the formula for the particle
wavelength and totally ignores the underlying causal, realistic and physically
transparent picture of wave-particle dynamics outlined by Louis de Broglie in
his thesis and further considerably developed in his later works, in the form
of "double solution" and "hidden thermodynamics" theory. A price to pay for
such rough deviation from the original de Broglian realism and consistency
involves fundamental physics domination by purely abstract and mechanistically
simplified schemes of formal symbols and rules that have led to a deep
knowledge impasse justly described as "the end of science". However, a new,
independent approach of "quantum field mechanics" (quant-ph/9902015,
quant-ph/9902016, physics/0401164) created within the "universal science of
complexity" (physics/9806002) provides many-sided confirmation and natural
completion of de Broglie's "nonlinear wave mechanics", eliminating all its
"difficult points" and reconstituting the causally complete, totally consistent
and intrinsically unified picture of the real, complex micro-world dynamics
directly extendible to all higher levels of unreduced world complexity.
