Default Waves vs Particles

I was aware of light, not RF. And, of course, at the extreme
"frequencies" (others would state "Higher Energy Particles" for all
RF--I guess), photons (particles) become undeniable--x-rays, gamma rays,
etc. However, "light transmitters" have always been of a differing
design/construction (example: light bulb) than RF transmitters.

My readings and studies have been of a "circular nature", just when I
have, in the past, decided that rf are/is waves, I have read something
which convinced me particles are responsible--then the opposite occurs
and I am back standing on square one. Hopefully, and in a "BLATANT"
manner, some experiment will make the truth of this whole subject
ABSOLUTELY apparent.

Until then, I think it is OK to remain undecided and firmly set in ones
beliefs ... but cautious of poking too much fun at anothers'.

Warm regards,
