Quotes About Light

Each evening the moon wanted thinner and gave off less and less light. By the fourteenth night the moon showed her ebony face. Demeter had traveled to the far ends of the earth and waited for Hecate, goddess of the dark moon, to appear. The sky was black, as though a veil had been thrown over even the brightest stars.

My life of conversation leads me to reimagine the very meaning of hope. I define hope as distinct from optimism or idealism. It has nothing to do with wishing. It references reality at every turn and reveres truth. It lives open eyed and wholeheartedly with the darkness that is woven ineluctably into the light of life and sometimes seems to overcome it. Hope, like every virtue, is a choice that becomes a habit that becomes spiritual muscle memory.

the stars were most brilliant against the darkest sky. Their infertility was the darkness, making every happy moment all the more brilliant for it.

The main thing I sense is...darkness." As soon as the words were out I realized how awful they sounded, so I rushed to clarify, "But it's not a bad darkness. It's more like a warm-summer-night kind of darkenss, not the monster-under-the-bed kind of darkness.

She shivered as he left her to go to the fire, and find water and cloths. He leaned into the light, and brightness and shadows moved across his body. He was beautiful. She admired him, and he flashed a grin at her. Almost as beautiful as you are conceited, she thought at him, and he laughed out loud.

The darkness seemed to be rising rather than the sun falling. As if darkness were the natural order around here.

Will it be salt or late light that it melts like?

When was the burning that of fire? When was it fear? When sorrow? That any gesture can be understood as the necessary, mostly incidental price the body pays for whatever response comes past gesture, past the body that made it: to what extent can this be said, and it be true? and it be false? Under what conditions? Under whose conditions? Thus the waves. Thus the light of the sun across them.

afternoons I remember still: how the light seemed a bell; how it seemed I'd been living inside it, waiting— I'd heard all about that one clear note it gives.

By Duraden, I have trolls dancing in my head this morning!' Stubble grumbled, screwing his eyes into a squint at the bright morning light.

Sometimes I even close my eyes to see more darkness. I know the stars are there in their place, as a witness to me of heaven. And I can see why darkness is so necessary The darkness is necessary, the darkness of faith is necessary, for God's light is too great. It wounds.

But God does not listen to such entreaty; rather, instead of consolation he sends boredom, and instead of light, darkness. Right there, halfway along our road, we don't know whether we are going backwards or forwards.

An elementary structure of the world is emerging, generated by a swarm of quantum events, where time and space do not exist. Quantum fields draw together space, time, matter, and light, exchanging information between one event and another. Reality is a network of granular events; the dynamic that connects them is probabilistic; between one event and another, space, time, matter, and energy melt into a cloud of probability.

The world, particles, light, energy, space, and time—all of this is nothing but the manifestation of a single type of entity: covariant quantum fields.

Color is the speed at which Faraday's lines vibrate, and this is determined by the vibrations of the electric charges that emit light. These charges are the electrons that move inside the atoms.

Einstein ?????n paketlerden, ???k parçac?klar?ndan olu?tu?unu gösterdi. Bunlara bugün "fotonlar" diyoruz.

Bir ???k ???n?n?n enerjisinin uzayda kesiksiz biçimde yay?lmad???, uzay?n noktalar?nda yer alan belirli say?da "enerji kuantumlar?ndan" olu?tu?u, bölünmeden hareket ettikleri ve bir birim olarak üretilip so?urulduklar? varsay?m?n? göz önünde tutuyorum.

Ama bütün çocuklar gibi kuram da kendi yoluna gitti, Einstein da onu art?k tan?yamaz oldu. 1910'lar ve 1920'ler boyunca büyümesine yön verense Danimarkal? Niels Bohr oldu. I??k enerjisi gibi atomlardaki elektronlar?n belirli bir enerjiyle yaln?zca bir atom yörüngesinden di?erine "s?çrayabilece?ini", bunu yaparken de bir foton sald???n? veya so?urdu?unu anlayan odur.

the particles are quanta of quantum fields; light is formed by quanta of a field; space is nothing more than a field, which is also made of quanta; and time emerges from the processes of this same field. In other words, the world is made entirely from quantum fields (

We see the world around us in color. What is color? Put simply, it is the frequency (the speed of oscillation) of the electromagnetic wave light is. If the wave vibrates more rapidly, the light is bluer. If it vibrates a little more slowly, the light is redder. Color as we perceive it is our psychophysical reaction of the nerve signal generated by the receptors of our eyes, which distinguish electromagnetic waves of different frequencies.

Light is thus nothing more than a rapid vibration of the spiderweb of Faraday's lines, which ripple like the surface of a lake as the wind blows. It isn't true that we "do not see" Faraday lines. To "see" is to perceive light, and light is the movement of the Faraday lines.

Light on a surface is but a hailstorm.
