In this note we will first argue that there is evidence in supporting the view that de Broglie waves have a gravitational origin. In view of the extreme weakness of the gravitational field, however, this seems to be an unlikely proposition. We consider the problem of the atom in the light of a proposed electron theory [physics/0212013] and show that in this theory an insignificant perturbation in the gravitational field might in effect be amplified by astonishingly large orders of magnitudes. On this basis we then propose a realistic model of an atom where the electron continually tunnels through the electrostatic field of the proton and the de Broglie waves take on the role of the missing electrostatic interactions. Although the discussion is a qualitative one, and as such may not be considered as being conclusive, never the less, we believe that on the evidence presented here the possibility of a gravitational origin for the de Broglie waves must be seriously considered.
