LYRICS
Is light a particle or a wave
How does it behave
In particular,
Is is partly particle
Yet, save part for wave?
In the light
I’m starting to see
Wave–particle duality
Gaining insight
Into light
Going to part ways
Catch a ride on the light ray
Going to ride the wave
Knave, crave the light and start the rave
“Turn of the 20th century and the paradigm shift”
Swift uplift

Wave–particle duality is a theory that proposes that all matter exhibits the properties of not only particles, which have mass, but also waves, which transfer energy. A central concept of quantum mechanics, this duality addresses the inability of classical concepts like “particle” and “wave” to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects. Standard interpretations of quantum mechanics explain this paradox as a fundamental property of the Universe, while alternative interpretations explain the duality as an emergent, second-order consequence of various limitations of the observer. This treatment focuses on explaining the behavior from the perspective of the widely used Copenhagen interpretation, in which wave–particle duality serves as one aspect of the concept of complementarity, that one can view phenomena in one way or in another, but not both simultaneously.
LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company
LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion
Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack
Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble
Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013
This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
