From Particles to Parables: Understanding the World Through the Lens of Wave-Particle Duality

When we start with participation, we understand every part. When we start with observing parts, we don’t understand even the parts.

Wave-particle duality is truly fascinating. It’s where physics becomes poetry. When we don’t observe an electron, it behaves like a wave; when we do, it behaves like a particle. Whatever we zero in on becomes discrete — turns into bits and pieces. Whatever we don’t observe behaves like a wave — Music. Why? Physics doesn’t answer that question. Poetry do…
