    The early perception of light ?

    awesome... third question in, but I'm still somewhat confused... Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics does not need to switch gears to describe the wave-like and particle-like observations. This is all accomplished by one consistent theory. keeping in mind, my extent of knowledge...

    The early perception of light ?

    here's one for the physics buffs... at the first stage of the perception of light, a photon(s) bleaches/is absorbed by rhodopsin in the retina, breaks apart and an intercellular cascade occurs. a photon is an individual particle, right? so when we perceive light, can we only perceive it as a...
