Conceptual Nonlocality‪.‬

Abstract: Nonlocality is a puzzling issue in modern physics. I propose that, aside from the experimental determination of nonlocality, the concept of atomistic light--discrete, self-bounded photons--breaks down toward something like nonlocality when subjected to philosophical scrutiny. Louis de Broglie made a similar argument regarding the material atom: the concept of the classical atom, when interrogated, collapses upon itself to offer a glimpse of wave-particle duality. Light atoms or photons, I argue, similarly collapse toward the contradictory possibility of nonlocality. Keywords: Nonlocality; Photons; Louis de Broglie; EPR; Wave-particle Duality
