Semi-coherent light is detectable as a semi-particle, semi-wave.

Detecting light as a particle or a wave
depends on how coherent ( i.e. how predictable ) it is.
For example, given an ideal laser showing a diffraction pattern
in famous double-slit experiment:
A. The frequency / energy is fully predictable;
* *i.e. it's *Fully *a wave.
B. You can't detect ( not even in theory )
* *which of the two slits it might've passed through;
* *i.e. it's *Not *a particle.
Semi-coherent ( i.e. semi-predictable ) light
is detectable as a semi-particle, semi-wave.
Randomness is ignorance; it exists only in the mind.
No matter what else is or isn't known,
metaphysically, we “ know ” the cosmos is fully causal.
But's that's only because the only thing the ****ing physics
idiots
know about either philosophy, the cosmos, logic, randomness, or
causality
is geometry.
Since they are blathering Kant wannabee idiots, rather than
scientists.
