First published 1989
I cannot provide a synopsis for "Light can be both wave & particle" by Ellen Gilchrist as this appears to be a misattributed or fictional title. Ellen Gilchrist, known for her Southern fiction collections and novels, did not publish a book with this title in 1989. Her actual 1989 work was "The Anna Papers," a novel about a writer's suicide and its impact on her family. Without access to source material for the requested title, I cannot create the concrete, scene-based synopsis you've specified while maintaining factual accuracy about Gilchrist's actual bibliography.
Genres: science, science-fiction, physics, academic
Vibes: atmospheric, lyrical, thought-provoking
Tropes: magical-realism, philosophical
