This 43rd essay of "A Rational Cosmology" presents reasons for why light cannot be a particle or a wave. Simply because light shares certain properties and behaviors also attributable to particles and waves, does not mean that it is a particle and/or a wave.

This 40th essay of "A Rational Cosmology" demonstrates that a "wave" is not some otherworldly substance coequal with a "particle" and necessarily defining all entities. Waves cannot be placed on an equal physical, metaphysical, or epistemological level to particles.
