ABSTRACT

Story/Game Duality At the dawn of the twentieth century, physicists started noticing something very strange. They noticed that electromagnetic waves and subatomic particles, which had long been thought to be fairly well-understood phenomena, were interacting in unexpected ways. Years of theorizing, experimenting, and theorizing again led to a bizarre conclusion: Waves and particles were the same thing … both manifestations of a singular phenomenon. This “wave-particle duality ” challenged the underpinnings of all that was known about matter and energy, and made it clear that we didn’t understand the universe quite as well as we had thought.
