How is it that you guys are comparing the photon, a sub-atomic particle without mass, to electromagnetic radiation/waves? I don't see a basis for comparison.....


EM waves are sets of coherent photons.

This is actually a good one. Planck, Newton and Feynman ... and missing quotations, nuclear emissions and internet arcana. Hello to Richard, Cecil and the rest and thanks for an enjoyable thread.

PS, from a non-physicist perspective, "duality" is a concept that is fun to debate. There might be extra innings.
