Particle wave duality is no longer accepted as it has been
experimentally disproven.

 The term "duality" refers to the observation that in most cases
the behaviour of light can be understand with a theory where
light is a wave or with a theory where light is a stream of
particles.
 However, there are situations where both kind of theories give
an incorrect prediction about the behaviour of light. Therefore
both paticle and wave theories are inexact.

 

When electrons pass through the double slit experiment, they behave
similarly to waves in aggregate, as waves of H2O do, yet experiments
show they remain particles.

 The experiments do not show that they remain particles. They only
show that in some situations they behave differently from classical
waves.
 But an interference in e.g. in double slit experiment shows that
they behave differently from classical particles.
 So both the wave theory and the particle theory are refuted.

 

The experiments do not show they become waves.

 THere is no "become". They are either always or never.

It is asserted that individual photons are inserted in the double slit
experiment and that they create interference patterns like waves hence a
duality. The fact that the light behaves here like a wave proves they
never reduced it to a single photon. It was always a wave.

Classical particles do not produce an interference pattern. Classical
waves do not produce counts of discrete detectons. Both can be observed
in the double slit experiment so there is somthing that is not a
classical wave and not a classical particle. It does not matter how you
call it.
