Re: “...light isn't a particle, it's a wave.”

LOL - I guess your opinion is as valid as anyone else's.

Light Is a Particle! (Sir Isaac Newton, 1643 - 1727)

Light Is a Wave! (Grimaldi and Huygens, 1629 - 1695)

Light Is Unequivocally a Wave! (Fresnel and Young, 1773 - 1829)

Light Is a Wave - an Electromagnetic Wave! (Maxwell, 1831 - 1879)

Light Is Also a Particle! (Einstein, 1879 - 1955)

Einstein's view - which I think is the most popular current one - is that light is a particle but a stream of light travels as a wave.
