Or is that just currently the best explanation for something that we can’t necessarily comprehend yet?
Maybe it’s like those visualizations of 4d shapes where even the best explanations fall a little short of really explaining what is happening.
In:
When you look at anything with a big enough microscope, everything, including light looks like a wave. They generally behave as though they are waves that vibrate in up to 12 directions at right angles to each other, but with the curious behaviour that they can stick together, break apart, or bounce against each other like particles.
What isn’t clear, though, is what the wave actually is. Interpretations vary. Some say that it represents where the object could be given our limited knowledge of the position and movement of every other object in the universe at that point in time. The accepted explanation is that it is useless to think of the wave as anything other than a metaphor for what is known and unknown about the object.
