How studying light helps us understand the revelation of God in our world
In addition to our world with time and space, there is a world of light that is independent of time and space – just like the world of God. In the world of light, the clock stands still and the entire space shrinks to one point – this is what Einstein's special theory of relativity teaches. The Bible teaches that there is only one God who, like light, reveals himself as a trinity. The well-known physicist J. A. Wheeler gave the following explanation: „Until its absorption, a photon had no true reality – but when it is absorbed it is an unsplittable bit of information added to what we know about the world.” We can supplement this statement: Until it is absorbed, a photon had no true reality in our world, but in the world of light it is an information quantum. Before the absorption it was 1bit of information in the world of light. In the absorption the photon appears either as particle or as wave in our world. This trinity of light corresponds to the trinity of God: God is the Father in his own world and he reveals himself in our world either as the Son or as the Holy Spirit.
