Light displays the properties of both waves and particles. How does light travel through vacuum then? Can it therefore only display wave-like properties in this scenario? And if so, can it ever exhibit particle-like behaviour in the vacuum?

In the macro world, things and people don't look like particles and waves, and why don't we go through walls, disintegrate, or teleport? Is it all because of quantum decoherence?

When an electron observed during a double slit experiment it acts like a particle, and unobserved it becomes a wave. Does this mean the 'probabilities' are actually alternate realities and we can only see them by not participating in it's creation?

Physicists and physics educators, what do you think about the pedagogy of teaching "wave-particle duality"? It's true in a sense, but also an oversimplification which seems to cause a lot of confusion.

Physicists have suggested for almost a century that light is made of energy packets that can behave like both a particle and a wave, a phenomenon known as photons. But could gravity also be made of discrete packets gravitons?

If time is a wave, shouldn't there be future "time particles" for now's "time particles" to arrive and transmit information to?

According to the light duality, when you observe a photon it behaves like a particle and it behave like a wave otherwise. How is it observed? Can it affect the experiment itself in an unexpected way?

When the wave function of an entangled particle collapses, does the wave function of the other entangled particle also collapse? Can we detect by looking at one particle if the other have been measured?
