EM threads. Particles themselves are bundles of such threads.

It's a manifold that has no classical analogy and shoehorning it into one or the other is retarded.

only brainlets think this is up for debate.

it's a wave.

Neither, waves and particles are abstractions that help analogize and understand properties of propagating light.

>> No.12231645

>>12231309
It's neither a particle nor a wave. There is no word in our language to describe it, except "matterlike" but that's circular. Language is based on what we experience. We see that light exhibits particlelike properties at times and wavelike properties at others. So we say light is a particle and a wave. In reality we just can't describe it any other way since we have no word to.

What even is a wave? What is a particle? How can something have no mass, yet cause change in the universe?

>> No.12232115

>>12231645
No, it's really just a wave.

>> No.12232137

>>12231656
A wave is an oscillation in a field. A particle is an excited state of a field. Mass is not a fundamental property of matter, but emerges out of the motion of massless 'particles'.

Physics disagrees.

Everytime we take a closer look at things around us we always find out that they're actually made of smaller shit and lots of empty space.
Just conceptualize how empty atoms really are, how far away electrons gravitate around the nucleus. And yet the only thing we consistently find everywhere are the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and the waves that distort them.
This doesn't disprove the existence of particle per se, but it makes a convincing argument in favor of the sole existence of fields and waves.
