What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
When the light returns to its source, it takes nothing of what it has illuminated.
To get high data transfer rates in communicating information, you would love to use optical fibers. The problem is that light is extremely hard to manipulate. So we make a perfect copy of the information carried by the light. We transfer it to matter - the condensate.
There is no greater mystery to me than that of light traveling through darkness.
Most architects say: I want to use this type of glass, even if it's too reflective or doesn't let enough light in. However, the use of a certain type of glass might change the comfort level.
You yourself may not be luminous, but you are a conductor of light.
In fiber optics, the cable is a light pipe or waveguide, into which you inject light. If a finger presses on the pipe, it disrupts that light within the waveguide.
I say that the power of vision extends through the visual rays to the surface of non-transparent bodies, while the power possessed by these bodies extends to the power of vision.
Scribal culture and Gothic architecture were both concerned with light through, not light on.
Light refused increases darkness.
What folly takes light through ether to each eye from every horizon.
When a photon comes down, it interacts with electrons throughout the glass, not just on the surface. The photon and electrons do some kind of dance, the net result of which is the same as if the photon hit only on the surface.
How does light enter a house? If the windows are open. How does light enter a human? If the door of love is open.
Transparency painted in a picture produces its effect in a different way than opaqueness.
I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam.
Yes, instruction! Light! Light! Everything comes from light, and to everything it returns.
