Our existence looks artificial regardless of where our creator comes from.

Decades later, Aspect’s team performed this experiment with single photons and showed that the answer is yes 4 . Even if the photon had ostensibly travelled through the entire set-up as a particle, switching the apparatus setting so that it ignored which-way information caused it to act like a wave. Did the photon travel back in time and come back through the two slits as a wave? To avoid such nonsensical explanations, Wheeler argued that the only way to make sense of the experiment was to say that the photon has no reality — it’s neither wave nor particle — until it’s detected.

Particle, wave, both or neither? The experiment that challenges all we know about reality
Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment originally served to prove that light is a wave — but later quantum versions have made for a much fuzzier picture.
