Wave-particle duality was an important concept in quantum mechanics. It described how microscopic particles, such as photons and electrons, possessed both wave-like and particle-like properties.
Although Bird of Paradise was not a scientific researcher, she still understood the basic concepts.
Including the "cosmic background radiation" the other party had mentioned.
It was the "electromagnetic noise" filling the universe, the remnant of the legendary Big Bang, the noise of billions upon billions of celestial bodies being born.
