The Elegant Univese

Not so elegant it seems. To me anyways. I always had a problem with the partical wave theory of light. That it not only acts like a partical, but also acts like a wave. In school when they told me, I just didnt understand, and reading two chapters on it now. I just dont understand. My mind understands how it works, but not why. I always felt sort of dumb for this. BUT. reading on, i find that even physicists today dont understand WHY it acts like that. They just know it does. I guess its faith..:)

There was a quote from a physicist about Quantum Mechanics, that, if you dont get dizzy from thinking about it, then either it wasnt explained to you properly, or you didnt read it well enough. this book certainly does that to me at times. From what I had previously read about Quantum theory, it seemed to me so much more orderly than other physics. it seemed to make sense, but now, reading deeper into it. It doesnt make any sense at all. It seems to be randomness, and uncertainty. And I guess thats really what it is. Maybe after this, I will have to go back and finish the book on Omega to see if I get it...:)
