Why does light act as a particle and a wave?

Why do we think what we think?

Philosophy and science used to be considered part of the same discipline, but when religion and science split, philsophy was still stuck in the middle with no-where to go.

It might be a bit heavy, but I think looking at how historically the two fitted together and how physicist today are quite the bunch of "particle" philosophers might be interesting.
Modern religion seems to simply be science from 7000 years ago that got turned into a tool for social control.

NOTHING is outside the realm of physics. It describes all things.. It is not limited to material or spiritual. If spiritual has a definition, it can be understood and studied and that, by definition, is physics. It's the study of what exists.
