Previous to the experiments leading to QM, objects were believed to be either a wave or a particle, but not both.

Like most things in science, QM attempted to explain what was seen. While God's universe is too much for mere mortals to understand, we can still chip off the little chunks we can handle and create technology. I'm not giving my computer back.

Thank you both for your comments. I'm still working on yours when I find a moment... here... and there, A-G.

As to the above, why can't something so very itsy bitsy be neither, actually, but inherently somewhat like both? And why should that bother us macro-functioners and macro-observers? Granted, it may give us a clue to what "is" is, but there seems to be a-lot of "statistical noise" being generated about it.

Quanta Rights! They have the right to be what they are and not what they're not, despite what anyone has to say.
