Physicist use an unevaluated assumption. This is the idea, that 
mathematics is the foundation of the universe.

This may be true, but most likely it's not. In either case the 
mathematical terms are used to utilise the understanding of the 
universe, but is not a substitute for understanding.

You may figure out what ever you like. But whether the result is of any 
use is a question of the interpretation of these results. The latter 
requires some sort of understanding about what your doing.

In case of physics we have a little too little understanding. And 
physicists seem to be proud about, since they can figure things out, 
without understanding what they are doing.

So the question remains about the nature of light. If particle and wave 
are wrong, then certainly something else is not.

Since 'Quantum object' seem to behave more like light, the question 
would be, how to interpret this term 'quantum object'.

The term has no positive content unless its meaning is somehow 
explained. You could give any other name ('mumble' for example) without 
loosing much information.

So the question is of some importance what those 'quantum objects' 
actually are. If that is not possible to say, it would better to call 
them 'mumble' instead.
