Is Light Itself Somehow God?

[David Sklansky]

After all it does pop up in some spooky ways.

Time stops if you ride along with it.

It's two different things at once.

It becomes one thing (a particle) if it is observed OR IF IT WILL BE OBSERVED (perhaps I am stating things imperfectly).

Some if not all people see a ray a light right before they die.

The best thing about Light being God is that this fact would piss off every damn one of you except me and Lestat.

Did you just change the word "light" to the word "god" or are you saying something more important?

Whereas think how disappointed you both will be to learn that light is just an attribute of that God. And the Higgs Field would have been a better example from physics.

That's just one of these things that can never be proven. It's like these people who claim that they got kidnapped by aliens and that the aliens did experiments with them. One came up with the story after reading it in a comic and ever since then all of these freaks repeat it. That doesn't mean that this cannot be, but it is simply much more likely, that those guys make it up to get invited to Jay Leno. What's the name of the theory again? Occam's Razor or something.

Also light doesn't fit to the definition of God, because it is lacking ultimate power. You can interrupt a ray of light and you can deflect it and change it's direction. I think everything that can be manipulated that easily doesn't deserve to be called "God".

You could probably get some distance out of this over on the sci.physics.relativity newsgroup. I have seen apparently serious posts entitled "God=guv" (the gravitational field) start threads that go on for hundreds of posts. All you need to do is argue that those crackpot fools simply had the wrong field -- it's obviously the electromagnetic field, not the gravitational one.

Wow, when I joined this forum, it seemed apparent that you were the most sane person here, but I'm changing my vote...to be announced sometime in the future. (I'm trading in all of my Sklansky poker books for Hellmuth's now....It's a sad, sad day [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])

Hey how about the universe itself being god?? I guess it depends on your definition of god, but the definition of god is really the only debatable issue of this post anyway...

Light is the devil.

Whats the matter David? I'm not cool enough to be in your special light is god club?

[diebitter]

So if you sin in complete darkness, you get away with it? cool!

PS. I'm not pissed off with the idea. Can I be in the brainiac club with you and Lestat?
