The movie "Wave or Particle?" It is a special documentary . Because it addresses a fundamental question: In the world we live in, do only humans have the power to understand the environment? In answer to this question, we discover the intelligence of plants and are amazed by it. Then we go into the atoms and in this journey we encounter many wonders, each of which can amaze us. This search introduces us to the science of quantum physics. A science that has been able to change the world with its achievements. A science that everyone has heard the name of, but no one really knows what it is? In this film, I introduce the viewer to quantum physics in simple language and tell him what quantum physics means ?! This film is the product of 2 years of my research. I am not a physicist, a filmmaker who is interested in physics.

Director's Biography
I was born on April 24, 1971 in the city of Tabriz, in northwestern Iran.
At the age of 13, I lost my father in an accident, and since I was the eldest child in the family, I had to work while studying. But at the age of 15, after watching an Iranian film, I became very interested in cinema and turned my entire focus to cinema. As a result, my school grades dropped dramatically. But at the age of 17, after making my first 8mm short film, I an award-winning camera, and this is my best memory of that time.
Later, in order to be able to manage my life and that of my family, I had to work with Iranian television, where I directed and produced a number of television programs.
Now I have an advertising company and I make advertising films for economic institutions and factories and I make short films from the money I earn this way.
I am married and have an 18-year-old daughter who works in music and is a pianist.
Director's Statement
One of the questions that has been asked since the beginning of human thought is whether other beings on earth have thoughts or feelings other than the human species. The answer to this question was superstitious before the European Renaissance, but the discoveries of recent years, especially in the field of quantum physics, have gradually led us to think that, apart from humans, animals and plants also have thoughts and feelings. This film is an exploration in this regard and has tried to answer this question with scientific facts
