I am the Light...Posted By david roberts |
Or maybe what is light anyways. After reading a few pop culture particle physics books, and some not so pop, the 2-slit experiment, as far as I can tell, is still a mystery. We live for bunches of photons on those clear nights, but I must admit, the more I read about light, the less I understand 8O
Not wanting to stray to far off point, I've read that time as we know it doesn't count for light. From the light particle's point of view, a trip across the universe takes as long as a trip across the face of an atom. That lenght of time to the light particle is zero. The concept of time is meaningless for a light particle or wave, pick your flavor.
What strikes me is that Jesus said I am the light, maybe a metaphor such as a light at the end of a tunnel, light = hope, etc.
But us humans would not want our supernatural beings to wear a watch, as though they could be affected by time.
BTW, what is time, really. Something that fills the voids in an expanding universe?
Just a thot.
