Perhaps out of our 5 senses one can argue the one we depend upon the most is our sense of sight.  In these explorations we will be examining the unique properties of light--from it's fundamental nature, it's place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, it's ultimate limiting speed in our universe, as well it's useful ability to reflect (bounce) and refract (bend).
