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 ³ know ² the cosmos is fully causal.



Randomness is not ignorance. It is the foundation of probability
theory. Do you argue that probability theory is ignorance as well ?

It is abuntantly obvious that random length can be characterized as
being either continuous or discrete - as one may wish. Clearly, this
is the only way that a wave-particle duality type of paradox could
occur. Unless you really want to struggle to jam a square peg into a
round hole - in which case you have the Copenhagen interpretation.
Clinging to that old thing is like believing in UFO's and timetravel.

No one understands what JeffglyphRelf argues.

But everyone understands you inane rantings ?
