Simply that light and fundamental matter can exhibit both particle and wave properties.

What about the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics?

As Einstein put it: ...nature is not independent of human thought.

Measurement/observation matters.

I know only one place that shares that rather odd property. The memory of a computer.

Please define the particular Copenhagen interpretation you're referring to.

 

Quote

According to an opponent of the Copenhagen interpretation, John G. Cramer, "Despite an extensive literature which refers to, discusses, and criticizes the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, nowhere does there seem to be any concise statement which defines the full Copenhagen interpretation."
