Abstract
I present an ontologically parsimonious de Broglie wave in which this superluminal phenomenon is simply a modulation - essentially a distortion of undulatory form - induced in the structure of the moving particle by the failure of simultaneity. I show that the emergence of this modulation would explain the wave-like manner in which a massive particle evolves and interacts, whilst the underlying structure would define the physically realistic particle trajectories favoured by de Broglie-Bohm theories. As I will also demonstrate, significant support for this interpretation may be found in de Broglie's own writings, including in particular his 1926 work, Ondes et Mouvements [1].
