Interesting read yet he failed to cite any data with his claims (very bad form for a university student :P)

I think your refering to the fact that a single photon can act like a wave and pass through two slits at the same time creating an interference pattern?

How the heck are we supposed to wrap our heads around something like that?

Yeah, I know. But even the professional pysicists are still having a hard time with the concept of an electron being two different things at the same time.

So is it a partical or is it a wave or is it both? My logical brain tells me that it really is a wave but when we detect it at any given point it appears to be a partical.

I think we might end up with the cave analogy in that the electron might be a four dimensional object and we are looking at it from a three dimensional perspective.

I will try to find another article that can put us at a starting point for the discussion.

Peace & Love!
