Since light exhibits a wave-particle duality, does that make light 2 items or 1

@Cuterthanpaul,
Sometimes it looks like a wave and sometimes it acts like a particle because empty space is a fluid made up of particles called the higgs field.

Science is a language. In this language, it can be either one, depending on the most practice way of describing it. Consider chemistry: it only talks in terms of heat. For it, coldness doesn't exist. Now, clearly coldness exists, but not in chemistry, only heat, because heat is easier to talk about or measure. Likewise, whatever way is easier to describe light, physics will use. The only other way to think of it, I would call it's existential sense. But light as it appears to us is neither wave, nor particle, just warmth and brightness.

@Cuterthanpaul,
It’s scientific. In the meta physics level we can prove light does has wave-particle duality theoretically. It’s one thing two aspects.

For details please see Analysis of the Speed of Probability Wave (the first chapter of piggy’s new article Research on the Root of Quantum Mechanics).

I don’t know how to display the full context here because I am not able to use the software to show some mathematical calculation. What I can do is to show its abstract.

The beginning of the context is:
According to Duc de Broglie’s original idea, the frequency of probability wave γ = E / h, the wavelength of probability wave λ = h / p.

The speed of probability wave of a free particle could be calculated as below:
If v is the moving speed of the particle, then, the speed of the corresponding probability wave:
u = γλ = (E / h)( h / p) = E / p =…

The conclusion of the context is:
When v → 0, Lim u = 0,
When v → c, Lim u = c,
When 0 < v < c, v > u

There are two hard problems as below:
1. What does the inconformity between “v” and “u” in case of 0 < v < c mean exactly in physics? It represents the wave state separating from the particle state? How lame it all sound. It’s too abstract and not understandable. It just means the concept of wavicle (wave – particle duality) in QM can’t establish in this situation. Why?
Seems there is a flaw here in QM.
2. And what does the conformity between “v” and “u” in case of “v → c, Lim u = c” mean exactly in physics? It should mean the concept of wavicle established in this situation. Why?



The Chen’s physics model for a released photon is “a section of electromagnetic wave travelling in straight line”, “a section” is from the angle of “particle” while “electromagnetic wave” is from the angle of “wave”. Of course v = u = c. Perfect conformity. Notice, at this moment, “u” changes to be the speed of electromagnetic wave rather than the speed of the “electric wave”.
For details please see Research on the Root of Quantum Mechanics

Light has only one nature which has some of the qualities of macroscopic matter and some of the properties of macroscopic waves. It really isn't either. This is what I was taught in college in the early 70s when I majored in physics. This has been well understood for a long time.

Oh Lord, what’s “70s”? Perhaps in that day this little piggy was in kindergarten?

“isn't either” is not an answer / solution in physics.

@izzythepush,
Very good question in the right time. (it should be mass)
Any college in this world can solve these two problems in one way?

In the new era of meta physics, piggy can do it. But the pig is tired to repeat it. If physics destined to extinct, piggy just let it be.

So, your objection to my statement that light isn't the same as macroscopic matter and isn't the same as macroscopic waves but has its own nature, and that this has been well understood to be the explanation of wave/particle duality is what exactly?

Any college can answer that student Adesh’s question “what’s meant by the amplitude of wave function”?
https://img.zcool.cn/community/01ae635dd385bba8012129e26938db.gif

QM and Relativity are both “standard” courses in college. But any college can solve the incompatibility problem between QM and Relativity?

Any college can research matter vs anti matter vs dark matter in one way?

Any college can tell me the mechanism of quantum entanglement?

Any college can tell me the mechanism of generation of neutrino?

Etc.

Any college can solve the above problems in one way?

Physics, piggy just leave it to donkey. Professional physicists around the world to review…Piggy hope he can bring eternity and glory to this galaxy. Shining like sun ray…
Perhaps bobsal can bring everything to guys with his Str# theory, including nice Budweiser.
Good luck guys.
That tramp in cosmos neila9876 now is very interested in the thread “theory of everything” in an “authentic” physics site elsewhere. He is trying to “hijack” it. Expand the pig’s universe.

The only nice budweiser looks like this.

Actually, the conclusion of “light has wave-particle duality” in Analysis of the Speed of Probability Wave is the conjunction of ideas of Du de Broglie and Einstein, while the Chen’s physics model for a released photon is htam’s idea.
The formula is Du de Broglie + Einstein = htam
The left side is touching the elephant from the second fundamental natural system, while the right side is touching the elephant from the first fundamental natural system.
Coincidence again? Or Sciences are all INTERCONNECTED?

Any college can answer these two questions “why light has wave-particle duality”, while “why a glass seems has no wave-particle duality” in one way?
http://img.mp.itc.cn/upload/20170315/844be4723027497fad48cb9ac53208d6_th.jpg
Actually it’s very simple, explicit and understandable if people are willing to touch the elephant from an alternative angle.
Actually , what does the inconformity between “v” and “u” in case of 0 < v < c mean exactly in physics? It just means the concept of wavicle (wave – particle duality) in QM can’t establish in this situation. in Analysis of the Speed of Probability Wave is also the conjunction of ideas of Du de Broglie and Einstein, while the spherical electromagnetic wave as a whole doesn’t demonstrate wave characteristic is htam’s idea.
Piggy is very tired to repeat them.
The formula is also Du de Broglie + Einstein = htam
The left side is touching the elephant from the second fundamental natural system, while the right side is touching the elephant from the first fundamental natural system.

Science has passed the cross roads entirely in 2023. It’s just human can’t solve the problems they are facing…They are “heavy accumulated and hard to go back”.
After the crossroads are two roads extending in two different directions. Which road to go is up to one’s own choice. 呵呵
