I did not say logic is wrong because of light's interactions. What I am saying is in quantum terms, we are dealing with a nonsensory experience of reality, a state where logic and reason no longer apply. Your statement that "light is light" seems rather obvious, (what is, is) However, light is or assumes the characteristics of both a particle and a wave. Particle is wave...wave is particle. The fact that light can be both a particle and, at the same time, a wave is central to quantum mechanics and again, defies logic and reason as we perceive them to be. I would be happy to recommend several books on the subject but, bottom line, you are wrong in saying these concepts are not beyond logical capabilities.
