I did a major edit on the Photon page. As Richard Feynman himself said in his lectures to the public on QED, "photons are particles". The explanation of why they sometimes behave like waves should also be inserted into the quantum mechanics article, as it is a general feature of the theory.--Lemonpeel 13:19, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Can you explain how light can be both a wave and a particle? --Ed Poor Talk 13:43, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

It is not both. It is a particle. However, due to interference possibilities of amplitudes in quantum mechanics, it sometimes behaves like a wave. I am currently trying to explain this in the quantum mechanics page.--Lemonpeel 13:58, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
