There is a term in physics called the 'measurement problem'. This generally occurs in the quantum world when one tries to measure the exact position of a particle. If you try to measure where it is you affect it's position.
When looking at the problem of whether light is a wave or a particle, the very act of deciding which aspect to observe changes the outcome of your experiment.
I know I haven't set this out very clearly and hope others will clarify my attempt.
