Wave-particle duality
Wave-particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that every particle or quantic entity may be partly described in terms not only of particles, but also of waves. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts "particle" or "wave" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects.
As Albert Einstein wrote
It seems as though we must use sometimes the one theory and sometimes the other, while at times we may use either. We are faced with a new kind of difficulty. We have two contradictory pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do.

Hysteresis
the phenomenon in which the value of a physical property lags behind changes in the effect causing it, as for instance when magnetic induction lags behind the magnetizing force.

Why West-to-East Flights are Faster
The Jet Stream Effect
Flying from West to East is faster than flying East to West due to Jet Streams.
Key Points:
- Atmospheric Rotation: The atmosphere rotates with the Earth, so the ground doesn't simply "slide" beneath the plane.
- Jet Streams: These are high-altitude air currents that flow from West to East.
- Tailwind vs. Headwind: Eastbound flights get a "push" (tailwind) from these winds, while Westbound flights must fight against them (headwind).
- Speed: While the plane's airspeed remains constant, its ground speed increases when flying East and decreases when flying West.
