Reason to like Physics Number Four

Wow, this was supposed to be a series I had going on all the time, how have I only done four and more importantly, why has it taken me so long to do the most obvious one?

It is just amazing! Pure beautiful brilliance! So brilliant it is almost impossible but of course it decides what is possible so it is possible. So, light is behaves as a wave and a particle? Most would say (myself included) that's not possible, how can it be both. And yet Physics (or rather Physicists) say it is so it is!

Imagine the smallest thing you can. There is something smaller and then something smaller and the there are characteristics of these smallest things that define possibilities.

How could anyone not be excited by Phyiscs? Okay, forget particle physics for a second, I feel like I'm always talking about that. How about electricity, something so ordinary it only occured to me how brilliant it really is the other day. I mean electrons carry energy around a circuit?! Electrons, a fundamental particle (couldn't help myself!), with enough energy to power my computer, light up Time Square and keep a person alive on life support. That is pretty amazing... and it is limitless!
