Einstein’s dual (Wave-Particle) nature of the Natural Light Analogous to God’s True Light and His Dual (Spirit-Matter) Nature

Einstein’s theory of light

One hundred years ago today, Albert Einstein finished a scientific paper that would change the world. His radical insight into the nature of light would help transform Einstein from an unknown patent clerk to the genius at the center of 20th-century physics. In the March paper of 1905, Einstein directly challenged the orthodoxy of physics: orthodoxy that had grown and strengthened for over a century. Einstein's theory of light would help transform Einstein from an unknown patent clerk to the genius at the center of 20th-century physics.

All physicists in 1905 knew what light was, either from the Sun or an incandescent light bulb. The light was known to be a wave; that is, a succession of ridges equally separated by depressions where the distance between the peaks (or the lows) determines the color of the light. All scientists knew without a doubt that light originated from a source, distributed evenly, and continued through all accessible space, and spread from one place to another as electromagnetic ridges and depressions. The light was called an electromagnetic wave, or, more generally, electromagnetic radiation. In 1905, the wave nature of light was an established and indisputable fact.

Genesis God’s Creation

“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

It was a large and imposing depth that its bottom could not be found. The lack of light produced absolute darkness and, therefore, devoid of life.

Then the roar’s echo was heard and felt as the Creator, and the whole army of heavens burst into the history of the beginning of our world.

“The earth was shaken and shook. The foundations of the mountains shook. He lighted coals. He bowed down the heavens and descended, and there was thick darkness under his feet. He rode on a cherub, and flew, flew on the wings of the wind. He put darkness by his hiding place by his curtain around himself: dark waters, clouds from the heavens. By the brightness of his presence, his clouds passed, hail and burning coals. Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave his voice, hail, and coals of fire. He sent his arrows. Then the abysses of the waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed.”

“And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”

Throughout the rest of the book of Genesis, God continued to create the world's splendor: the sky, the earth, the ocean, the sun, the Moon, the creatures, and, finally, man. The light was the first thing that God did before everything. According to quantum physics, the light was essential to create these things since His design requires the force of light to unite the different particles of matter.

God’s light analogous to the natural light

God, the “True Light of the World,” has all the characteristics of the natural light.

Here is an analogy of the natural light with God as Light. As Einstein said: “Light has a dual (wave-particle) nature.” The Scriptures says that God is Light dual (Spirit-matter) nature.

“God is Spirit” - Analogous to the wave nature of light; you cannot see it; you cannot see His Spirit either. But like the wave’s disturbance moves energy from one place to another, the Spirit of God moves from one place to another, hovering over the waters.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

Quantum Physics says: “The substance that a wave moves through is called the medium. That medium moves back and forth repeatedly, returning to its original position. But the wave travels along with the medium. It does not stay in one place.”

The Scriptures says: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me…” “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.”

In John's book, chapter 1 is a striking analogy of the wave’s substance called “medium” with Jesus Christ as the (medium) mediator between God the Father and man.

“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.” “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”

There is an analogy of light’s wave-particle’s nature with the Spirit of God. (the natural wave of light is intangible, abstract, cannot be seen – God Spirit is intangible, abstract, cannot be seen either.)

Quantum Physics says: “Infrared light, also known as infrared radiation, is one type of light outside the visible range. You cannot see this light, but you can feel its heat, though it is unlikely you would be burned.

The Scriptures says: “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit." But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.”

Jesus, the incarnation of God (Spirit), can be seen – Analogous with the particle of light, can be seen.
