Because these two phenomena's mechanics are mutually exclusive, both are needed in order to describe the possible behaviors. All matter, for example, has wave-particle duality.

Famous quotes containing the word physics:

    “The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.”
    —Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)

    “Now the twitching stops. Now you are still. We are through with physiology and theology, physics begins.”
