Abstract
Analyzing in a recent publication [1] the historical origin of Wave Mechanics, Professor de Broglie has recalled that its origin rests on the almost forgotten idea that all particles are endowed with an intrinsic oscillation: so that one can compare them to clocks which remain in phase with the ψ waves utilized in Quantum Theory. This postulate of phase correlation is of relativistic nature. It yields an immediate demonstration of the identity of the principles of Fermat and Maupertuis.
