LIGHT (as duality)

Kitty watches dust dance in a sunbeam.
Sometimes it looks smooth and continuous.
Sometimes it breaks into tiny, separate points.
The same light — two ways of appearing.

Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior.
When light propagates through space, it can be described as an electromagnetic wave. When it interacts with matter — for example, when it is detected — it appears as discrete packets of energy called photons.
Experiments such as the double-slit experiment demonstrate this dual behavior. This is not unique to light: all fundamental particles exhibit wave–particle duality.

Quantum mechanics challenges our intuitive idea of reality.
There are several interpretations of why particles behave this way.
In the Copenhagen interpretation, a system takes on a definite state when it interacts with its environment.
In the many-worlds interpretation, all possible outcomes continue to exist, while we only experience one.

What would it mean if all versions of you — all choices you ever made — still existed?
Is there a path you wish you had taken?
Or an experience you wish you had allowed yourself?
Is there a small choice you could make now that slightly shifts the state you are in?
