Imagine talking to an ancient philosopher who strongly believed that the everything in the world was made of Earth, Air, Water and Fire. Explain electromagnetic waves to them.
They might end up saying, "so EM waves are invisible like Air, but they move around like Water waves, so really EM waves display Air-Water duality?"
That's how stupid the idea of wave-particle duality is. When you upgrade to a better model of the world, you have to drop the old concepts, and start anew with new concepts.
