  In smoke or fog, turn on a flashlight - I get a beam, same with laser pointer.  Yet, it's a wave.  I'm also familiar with the 'slit experiment' (interference) on how waves can act as particles, and vice versa.  So, somewhere in there, has to be the stumbling block that I'm desperately trying to trip over.

Daffy,

from what I quoted,  light is NOT a wave but sometimes appears as one due to numerous distortions,  some of which

we have not identified or discovered.  Perhaps that is the stumbling block.
