Abstract
Our understanding of light is the result of dispute since the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Students of physics today are taught wave-particle duality: belief based on otherwise conflicting experiments that electromagnetic radiation is a periodic wave that, at high frequencies, exhibits increasingly localized concentration of energy. It is a wave with particle characteristics: something akin to energy that under some circumstances exhibits interference like periodic waves, and under others acts like a stream of bullets.
