Classically, light can be thought of in two ways: either as a particle or a wave. But what is it really? Well, the ‘observer effect’ makes that question kind of difficult to answer. So before we get ...

My apologies to the physicists who might be reading this. I’m no expert on quantum mechanics. But I am a lifelong learner. So when I saw an article recently on “Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle,” I ...
