Abstract
The electron sometimes appears to be a wave, passing through both slit s of an interferometer at once, and sometimes as a particle localized in space. In this discussion ordinary electromagnetic theory is used t o attempt to resolve the paradox. No new assumptions are added; only s ome old assumptions are deleted as unnecessary. The resolution of the paradox is that the particle aspect of the electron is unnecessary.
