Nevets wrote:Wave–particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that every particle or quantum entity may be described as either a particle or a wave. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts "particle" or "wave" to fully describe the behaviour of quantum-scale objects.

Light is an unincorporated community in Greene County, Arkansas, United States.
According to conductor Leon Botstein, Einstein began playing when he was 5. However, he did not enjoy it at that age
The difference in prices from the first load to the later ones was so high that the original price which was paid for the tea in China was quite unimportant. So the "price of tea in China" was something that really didn't matter for the ship owners. They had to have the tea in England as fast as possible.

This theory is trying to describe what might have caused the big bang, such as Light photons interacting with something else, in order to create a bang and make matter
There is nothing at all whatsoever in the bit you quote that says anything at all that could possibly be described as "Light photons interacting with something else, in order to create a bang and make matter". By attempting to squeeze this interpretation out of the bit you quoted you are making an utter fool of yourself. Stop injecting meanings into statements that are exclusively of your own creation.

How do they overcome the short lifetime (~ 10-23 seconds) of the hexaquark and don't 6 quarks have Coulomb charge and, therefore, e-m coupling and, therefore, not "dark" or invisible to e-m fields?

Maybe we can make this easier - I doubt anyone here believes you know the first thing about QM, so unless you're going to go out of your way to disprove this by showing your expertise, how about you drop the pretense as it's very much having the opposite effect to the one you presumable desire.
Since its inception, the many counter-intuitive aspects and results of quantum mechanics have provoked strong philosophical debates and many interpretations. Even fundamental issues, such as Max Born's basic rules about probability amplitudes and probability distributions, took decades to be appreciated by society and many leading scientists. Richard Feynman once said, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."[77] According to Steven Weinberg, "There is now in my opinion no entirely satisfactory interpretation of quantum mechanics."[78]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics#Philosophical_implications
