Abstract
Is predictability a fundamental feature of natural reality? If so, then the future of both particles and waves should be deterministic. Here I show that this notion of determinism implies that quantum objects such as photons are not real.

Abstract
Are quantum objects such as photons real? If so, they should either be waves or particles, but not both. Here I show this notion of reality implies nature is fundamentally unpredictable.
The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
