I did not say logic is wrong because of light's interactions. What I am saying is in quantum terms, we are dealing with a nonsensory experience of reality, a state where logic and reason no longer apply. Your statement that "light is light" seems rather obvious, (what is, is) However, light is or assumes the characteristics of both a particle and a wave. Particle is wave...wave is particle. The fact that light can be both a particle and, at the same time, a wave is central to quantum mechanics and again, defies logic and reason as we perceive them to be. I would be happy to recommend several books on the subject but, bottom line, you are wrong in saying these concepts are not beyond logical capabilities.

Light isn't a wave. Light isn't a particle. Light is light. It is simply useful to model it as a wave under certain conditions, and as a particle under certain other conditions. Do you see? In my experience, a 'photon' is the term used to describe a particle of light when we choose to model light as a beam of particles. When we model light as a wave, we do not consider light to consist of photons. Your idea that logic becomes wrong just because light interacts differently under different circumstances is sheer arrogance!

Well, I must respectfully disagree. Is it not illogical for a photon to be both a particle and a wave simultaneously? I recall Aristotle and the law of contradiction, (A cannot be both A and not A) From a quantum perspective, a photon cannot be both a particle and not a particle but it is.

Are you trying to tell me that a photon being both a particle and simultaneously a wave is not illogical from a human perspective? How about Aristotle and the law of contradiction? (A cannot be both A and not A) In quantum, a photon can be both a photon and not a photon, (a wave) Am I missing something?

I'm a property dualist lol asl (not a substance dualist).

What are you talking about? Logic doesn't change or become inadequate. It's still the case in quantum mechanics that A-> ~(~A). Notions such as that a thing can only be in one place at once are what are inadequate.

Well, you are of course, entitled to your opinion and I am always eager to receive comments on my work. I admit this poem borders on the didactic but I am not attempting to convert anyone, just exploring ideas and contradictions that exist in all monotheistic religions. I doubt the children's book touched on these subjects.

Thank you, vulcan. Religion is not an easy subject to write about though I try on occasion. When speaking to the strange quantum world, logic and reason are totally inadequate and we are left without rational explanations for such concepts as a ten dimensional space/time.(String theory) Very esoteric stuff and I don't pretend to have an answer to.

Definitely not a dualist. I would say more of a monist in that I perceive duality to be a finite concept that is non-existant at the infinite level. Of course, there may be no such state of being and oblivion might be our eventual fate. In that regard, I am a deist but really don't have a clue nor does anyone else beyond blind belief which I personlly believe is a cop-out. And in quantum mechanics, a basic oneness seems more likely. A systems view that recognizes autonomous parts as manifestations of the whole.

Fair enough.
