Not sure if it's been said but aren't all waves particles on the fundamental sense?

Anyone care to delve into M-Theory?

Not really... maybe. On a fundamental level, photons are neither waves nor particles... there are probably no such things on that level.

One of the most difficult things to understand about what are known as "quantum" and "particle" physics, is that what we talk about in words are really only rough working descriptions of models based on experimental results. An atom is not literally really tiny balls of protons and neutrons, with even smaller electron balls in orbits around the nucleus. That's just a decent working description that allows us to visualize processes that we can generally only detect by inference.

When we say "particle" or 'wave," what we mean is that there is behavior shown by experiment that resembles what we would expect a particle or a wave to display. The reality is a little bit fuzzier than that.

There are supposed to be 10 dimensions of spacetime.
1. A Line. X

2. A branching line, flat surface. X, Y

3. Three dimensional space with no time. X, Y, Z.

4. Time as a line. X, Y, Z, T

5. Time with branching alternate timelines. X, Y, Z, T, T2

6. Time with a line that may jump to other lines. (time travel) X, Y, Z, T, T2, T3

7. Every possible timeline of our given universe from the same beginning to the same ending, expressed as a line of universe timelines. X, Y, Z, T, T2, T3, U1

8. The branch from a set of universe timelines, where each copy of our universe may not be ours, for example, universes that do not begin with a big bang. X, Y, Z, T, T2, T3, U1, U2

9. The jump from one universe with a given set of timelines and beginnings to another. X, Y, Z, T, T2, T3, U1, U2, U3

10. Every possible universe with every possible timeline with every possible beginning with every possible set of governing laws, all compressed into a single point

actually space is not a vaccuum.
there are ~100 neutrinos per 1cm cubed of space.
neutrinos have VERY small mass, but they do have mass. therefore, space is NOT a vacuum
