A reaction to listening to Richard Feynman on Quantum Mechanics Part 1 - Photons Corpuscles of Light. The long and short of which is LIGHT is composed of corpuscles or particles, NOT waves, and their occurrence of Reflection from a surface, such as water or a window pane or a glass lens, vs the occurrence of transmission through the substance is, though precisely measurable and regular for varying frequencies of LIGHT, a completely random occurrence.
The ultimate conclusion is Nature operates on a basis of random occurrences. Which once they happen in measurable quantity can be found to happen in precise regular measurements.

Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist).
