Light is also composed in our brain
While discussing what science has discovered about vision, we mentioned
that the light we receive from the outside gives rise to some movements of the
eye cells, and these movements form a pattern from which our visual
experience emerges. However, there is another point that we need to make:
Light, as we perceive it, does not reside outside of our brain. The light we
know and understand is also formed within our brain. What we call light in
the outside world, which is supposedly outside our brains, consists of
electromagnetic waves and particles of energy called photons. When these
electromagnetic waves or photons reach the retina, light, as we experience it,
begins to come into existence. This is the way light is described in physical
terms:
The term "light" is used for electromagnetic waves and photons. The same
term is used in physiology, as the feeling experienced by a person when
electromagnetic waves and photons strike the retina of the eye. In both
