    Yes. This is how motion detectors work. Normally, motion detectors have an IR emitter that acts as a particle, but when someone walks by, the IR emitter works as a wave, triggering the motion detector.

    Notably, this doesn’t work with dogs, as they have no souls.

      Which kind of motion detectors? The ones I know work on everything that’s moving, including my cats (don’t have dogs) or even just throwing something past it

        Oh, you might have one of the newer ones that use interferometry to detect soulless entities.
