Illumination: A Discourse on the Power of Light
No matter how much we think we know about light, there is always something more to learn, something confounding, something mysterious lurking somewhere. But the fact that something as common as light can be deemed a mystery is itself something mysterious and baffling. How can light, which makes things lucid and makes mysteries known, be elusive and mysterious? In all my studies, it appears that light has shed light on all things except itself. Apparently, science has come up with tentative answers regarding the nature of light, the speed of light, and so forth, but those answers are not enough. We’ve made extensive progress in understanding light, but, it appears our progress is not progressive enough. We’ve harnessed the power of light to explore and solve many problems in our world, but we’ve not yet begun to explore the world of light itself.
