David,

You must know perfectly well that light, while described as a wave within the visible range, is considered to exhibit wave and particle properties, and to further quote from my encyclopedia, "the fundamental particle, or quantum of light is called the photon" (from the Greek photos, light). Tut. Tut. And just to score a point!

In the same vein, you appear to cast the majority of mankind as not even being human, since you claim that the majority of human beings are quite intelligent enough to to understand that EM radiation is indeed a wave, and clearly the largely rural and non-academic people in China alone are unlikely to know anything about the technical nature of light, never mind in the more developed West. Then there's India. Heck,you, yourself, forgot it's apparent manifestation of particle and quantum properties. Even after I reminded you. Albeit, that I had, likewise, at least half-forgotten that it is perceived as having dual properties - the memory did dimly nag at the back of my mind.

But I hope you take on board that the future of theoretical physics lies, not in that most limited of reductionists disciplines (are there any others?), that you call "science" (the world means "knowledge"), still less in experimentation, but in the management of paradoxes and a priori reasoning. Not to bring up again the great man's words about what can be counted and what counts. Did you not know that the Holy Spirit coordinates the strands of our intelligence?

I'm sure you know that Neils Bohr chided Albert for keeping on dragging God into everthing. Well, what was good enough for Albert, is good enough for me. And I think it should be good enough for you, too.

Thank you, anyway, for your invitation to me post in another place.
