When they talk about the electron double-slit experiment, do they mean GP Thomson and Davisson's experiments? One of my favorite ironies is that nearly a half century after JJ Thomson proved both the electron was a particle, his own son showed that it was also a wave.

I'm not sure. Maybe someone who knows will chime in.
