0-1800 physicist : So, is light a particle or a wave?
Some physicist, including Newton : It must be a particle!
Other physicist : No, a wave!
Young : *do double slit experiment* Wave, proved.
Physicist : Great! Problem solved. We did it!

Planck : *do some research about radiation* This is so confusing. I'm stuck
Planck : I have a new theory. How about if light is a particle? (E = hf)
Einstein : I agree with him. I would call it 'photon'
Physicist : What?? I think we've done talking th-
Planck & someone : *do photoelectric effect* Proved
Physicist : So, is light particle or wave? Now we return to the same debate!
Other physicist : It is proven as a wave, but also proven as a particle. Maybe it's just both?
Other physicist : What?? Can't we just pick one?
Other physicist : Nope, the experiment say it's both.
Other physicist : And let's call it 'Light wave-particle duality' to make it cool.

De Broglie : Hey, I have an idea! What if not only light has duality, but also electron, atom, pencil, and us? All matters are both a particle and wave!
Physicist : Wait, WHAT? Don't make up de Broglie... Just because light do that, doesn't mean-
De Broglie & other guy : *do experiment that proved light is wave, but now with electron* Proved.
Physicist : *insert Pikachu meme here*
Heisenberg : About that, I have a principle about 'uncertainty'!
Schrodinger : I have a theory about a cat. Hope the cat lovers will like it!
Physicist : Let's name this very weird field 'Quantum Physics'. And have the word 'quantum' in front of everything!
Other physicist : Like quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, quantum realm, quantum field, and quantum computing?
Other physicist : Exactly.

Students 1 : What the hell is those scientist thinking?? So weird! Damn it! This mustn't-, nevermind, just study for the next test.
Student 2 : You look so confused. Doesn't the lesson is easy? Just put the numbers on the equation and we have the answer!
Student 1 : *sigh*
Bohr : Don't worry beginner, "if quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."
*dialogue with quotation mark ("...") means a real quote from the person

Epilogue
Einstein : Hello, I'm back. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PHYSICS?? No, this mustn't be true, I can't hold it. "God does not play dice with the universe!"
Physicist : Just shut up!

Bonus!!!
Einstein : May I also propose some theories? They're nothing to do with light or something, wait. They do. But trust me, they're about space and time, teleportation, time traveling, black hole, and a lot of things that's cooler than those light! I'll call it 'relativity'.
