Since the days of Einstein, scientists have been trying to directly observe both of these aspects of light at the same time.

Did they try LSD or psilocybin mushrooms?

It is a cool thing, but I do NOT think that this demonstrates both characteristics of light simultaneously, nor does it prove (at least as described in the lay article) that it is even possible to observe both at the same time.

It seems that they are AVERAGING observations and then calling it simultaneous. Only electrons that hit a photon show particle responses. Only near misses show wave.

It is no different than the two slit experiment with the photo paper being left in place for both the wave aspects (the pattern with both slits open) and also for the photons as particles going through each hole open by itself. If you look at that film you can see both characteristics on the same piece of film, but it is not “simultaneous”.

(started typing and got called away, so this is sent after the first comment with nmo review of other comments — sorry if redundant)

I asked Heisenberg about this.

He was uncertain.

Is the waveform real?

snapshot of light behaving both as a wave and as a particle

Waveticle, yep that's it, *waveticle*, you heard it here first!

So was the camera film a particle or a wave?

Neither particle or wave, light now appears to actually be a multi-colored flotation device.
