What if I told you that scientists
are not able to fully describe the nature of light? Well, I’m telling you now,
and I’m not very surprised. Even with all the formulas physics could produce,
they, like us are still in the maybe zone. They tell us it’s a wave but their
little secret isn’t exactly a secret. I was also surprised when I learnt of the
concept of wave particle duality. According to this theory, all matter can be
either a particle or a wave depending on the property exhibited. When light is reflected from a surface it is
a wave, when it is emitted in small quanta, it is a particle. So, you can now
imagine light in small packets and you flying with an actual frequency, real
funny. DeBroglie went further to derive a formula that could deduce the
wavelength of practically everything.
As much as I’m confused, I’m not shocked. Like
light, no one really knows the nature of me. People will try to describe me
based on what they see, but the mysterious nature of me isn’t for them to
describe. They’ll see me walking and they’ll say I’m just a particle, they’ll
see me soaring and you can guess what they’ll say. I know my journey is yet to unfold, and I’ll travel it
alone. No one knows me better than me, so as much as I like opinions, I also
like optimism!
