im not trying to say 'who cares' but why does it really matter. why does any of this matter.

It's an extremely basic part of how known physics works, which has applications in pretty much everything (physics is the most basic science upon which everything else is built on).

[ZSNO]

also google says its a wave

All you had to do was google the thread title and you messed that up

[IkeTheGeneric]

you cant

It's literally both though

i think he meant why does it matter in the sense what does the knowledge of light being a wave or a particle apply towards, not that he doesn't give a stuff

[Ravencroft·]

It exhibits properties of both.

That's like one of the first things you learn in general chemistry.

[Ducky duck]

It's radiation.
