there's something super satisfying about explaining the entirety of the photoelectric effect and Einstein's model on a 6 by 4 square of pink paper

“Theory of Light” Documentary Premiere Screening.

“Theory of Light” puts a spotlight on the need for more urgent and united action to protect our people and future generations from the adverse effects of climate change. Part historical chronicle, part environmental lesson, the documentary shows how Liter of Light is reinvigorating efforts to take action and inspiring new generations of innovators from the Global South to come up with ideas that will change the world. The documentary advances bold storytelling that centers the climate emergency through a climate justice lens. With a commitment to uplift perspectives of black, brown and indigenous communities whose lives are already being impacted by climate change, it gives a voice to those who feel excluded for the climate movement and whose voices have not been represented in traditional climate storytelling.

In quantum physics imply that all matter, including matter that makes up the human body, is itself made up of waves of light. It is therefore interesting to note that many ancient teachings saw humans as engendered by light, as children of light. The Nobel Prize winning physicist David Bohm.

Light also can either be considered a wave or a stream of particles. We know that photons carry energy, and that the amount of energy carried by a photon is proportional to the frequency of the light. That is, the higher the wave frequency, the more energy it carries. For example, X-rays and ultraviolet light have high frequency and high energy, while radio waves and infrared waves have low frequency and low energy.

Just as surprising as the apparent ethereal qualities of matter is the fact that it is the observer who brings the possibilities of the micro-world into existence. In experiment after experiment, it has been shown that when the observed function, the wave, interacts with the observing system, the person making the measurement, it changes to a new state. And whether what comes into actuality is a wave or a particle depends solely on the structure of the experiment. One interesting aspect of the apparent dual representative state of matter is that it is not a dual property of the particle, but rather a property of experimental observations. Niels Bohr, who is regarded as the father of quantum physics, pointed out that a particle only becomes a particle when someone is looking at it. The new physics tells us that the observer cannot observe anything without changing what he sees. Moreover, Princeton researchers Brenda I. Dunne and Robert G. Jahn have shown that this concept is not limited to the microworld of quantum interactions. Astonishingly, they have, through a series of well documented experiments, established that our minds, our intent, can alter the outcome of events.

To help understand all this let's look at how light behaves as a wave and as a particle.
