Chapter 1: The Enigma of Light
While I am not a physicist or a scientist, I find great joy in delving into both contemporary and historical scientific revelations. Recently, I watched a fascinating documentary on YouTube that explored the complexities of quantum physics. It felt overwhelming at times, yet it was undeniably captivating. One concept that stood out was the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which still leaves me puzzled. However, what truly intrigued me was a photon experiment demonstrating that photons can exist in multiple locations simultaneously—a thought that boggles the mind. Although I may have encountered this experiment before, it’s not something I often consider.
As I reflected on this, the topic of light came to mind. Photons, as you may know, are the particles that make up light, and light itself is a subject of endless fascination for me. The first mention of light appears in the Bible, specifically in Genesis 1:3:
"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
