To understand light as both particle and wave, one must “hold several ambiguous possibilities in suspension together without premature closure on one outcome.”
“Light behaves both as a particle and as a wave. Since the days of Einstein, scientists have been trying to directly observe both of these aspects of light at the same time. Now, scientists at EPFL have succeeded in capturing the first-ever snapshot of this dual behavior. “ –The first ever photograph of light as both a particle and wave
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Albert Einstein
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” – Albert Einstein
