Résumé :
Are quantum objects such as photons real? If so, they should either be waves or particles, but not both. Here I show this notion of reality implies nature is fundamentally unpredictable. Conversely, is predictability a fundamental feature of natural reality? If so, then the motion of both particles and waves should be deterministic. Here I show that this notion of determinism implies that quantum objects such as photons are not real.
