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.

scientists.- Hide quoted text -

It's also because the nature of mathematics is such that one expects
to find a precise answer to a given question. Mathematicians are not
accustomed to a problem where the solution itself is "A or B". A
solution should be either A or B, not both indeterminately. They are
not acustomed to this type of solution to a given problem.
