One of the most amazing facts in physics is that everything in the universe, from light to electrons to atoms, behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time. But how did physicists arrive at this mind-boggling conclusion? Chad Orzel recounts the string of scientists who built on each others discoveries to arrive at this central mystery of quantum mechanics. Lesson by Chad Orzel

I'm probably gonna be hated for this but if you drop a rock into an ocean it creates waves, right. Could photons be something more essential that creates one or the other during different circumstances? I always liked this concept but I get laughed at since this defy everything we know about standard models

Why is it that a photon of light is visible and a light-wave is not? Which is why space is not flooded with light as it should be. I understand that light has particle/wave duality, but does this mean that light changes wavelength and frequency when it interacts with matter (and becomes a photon?

Ohhh, really, how can you possibly shut one single electron out of this thing? They are immensely small! How can you even see them on that board behind the barrier? Please, explain this to me.

Partical-Wave duality? Or are our macroscopic notions of space and time (locality) not directly applicable to small scales?
