  5. It's an elemental theory of physics that comes up with the explanation of the physical properties of nature on a very small scale.
  6. In quantum, the dual nature of light means light can behave as a wave or particle is discussed.
  7. Now as according to classical physics: When light is just a wave meaning “not quantum” likewise in the "ancient" way of thinking about physics without its duality and complexity.
  8. The explanation of the properties of nature is at a large scale (macroscopic).
