Wave-particle duality
:::8.5.2 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
:::8.5.3 Wave-particle duality
 
::::The wave-particle duality being referred to is actually two phenomena. The first, discovered by Planck and Einstein in 1900 and 1905, is that light, normally considered a wave, can also be viewed as a particle. The second, formulated by Louis DeBroglie in 1924 and confirmed by the Davisson-Germer experiment published in 1928, says that particles can also be viewed as waves. In either case, the duality is that, at small (quantum scale) distances, the same thing can be viewed as either a particle or a wave.
 
::::The first thing to note is that the entity itself does not change; it can simply be viewed in two different ways. This means that the claim in BSF that the entity is subject to gravity when it is a particle, but not subject to gravity when it is a wave, isn't true. If it were, we could conduct an experiment to determine which is the case. Gravity affects all things, whether being viewed as a particle or as a wave.
 
::::But, more importantly, there is nothing in the passage in Mark that would suggest that Jesus was displaying a particle-like nature and the Holy Spirit a wave-like nature. There was no mention of wavelength, or momentum, or energy, which play important roles in DeBroglie's formula. There is nothing that suggests anything about the all-important role of Planck's constant.
