One could equivalently say that the thing that really exists is the photon, that is, light is a particle and not a wave, and the weird stuff comes from how photons move through space. That was the view of Feynman at least, espoused in his pop science book "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" Actually I just checked, on page 15: > I want to emphasize that light comes in this form - particles. It is very important to know that light behaves like particles, especially for those of you who have gone to school, where you were probably told something about light behaving like waves. Anyway I say "equivalently" because this is just another way to conceptualize the same theory (and make the same predictions), it's not new physics
