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