Asking some questions about G-d

Sounds spiritual. Thanks for the comment. The thing that confuses me about light is that light is unlike anything else in the universe, yet the universe could not exist without it.

I do apologize for the small rant, I got caught up in the thought. I do agree that light is an amazing thing, but in reality it is not as complicated as you would think. Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The word usually refers to visible light, which is the visible spectrum that is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight.

If u gunna get into the non-visible light, u really gunna baffle me. Lol. So light can be unified with (or is part of) electromagnetism (in a relatively small set of equations)? Interesting. I love the Grand Unification Theory, even though it's a bit hard to get my arms around.

To make it simple, visual light is made when an electric field and an magnetic field oscillate. The electric field creates a magnetic field, and the magnetic field creates a electric field. This oscillation back and forth is what we call light. It is an electromagnetic wave. Differences in the speed of this oscillation makes the ranges of visual and non visual light.
