When light shines through a vacuum, it is invisible to us, unless it strikes our retina. Look up at the moon on a clear night. You see the light reflected from the surface to your eyes; you do not see the beam of light travelling from the sun to the moon. We can't see the thing that makes matter visible to the eye. Light is invisible to us except when the rays strike our eyes directly. I've read that if all light radiating from the sun and stars in all directions were visible, we would be blinded. Red, green, and blue lights shone into one spot on a wall, combine to make the spot white. "These three are one." www.mistree.embarqspace.com

What on earth! There are actually some people here that think that bananaman is right!

Of course if you stand to the side of a beamn of light you can’t see it. That’s because the beam is not directed at you. Try putting a prism in the beam and splitting white light in to it different colours. You may not see the beam if you not in it’s path but you can prove it’s visable and it’s what makes everything else visable. So if god is light, I can assume by doing the prism experiment I’m splitting god. Cool!

Interesting stuff and interesting blog. You're right, it does not mean light is visible, we just feel it like that.

let me restate. if you stand off to the side of a beam of light in a vacuum you can’t see the beam. i think i’ll leave it as that.

Evidently, but that doesn’t mean light is invisible. It’s just not going in the direction of your eyes.

@quicklime

Strictly speaking, light is the only thing that is visible. Everything in the universe is invisible until light makes it visible, so you are taking complete rubbish.

light is invisible. the only reason we can see it is because it bounces off just about everything that is material. the spectrum reveals the characteristics of the matter it bounces off of and not the characteristics of the beam. position yourself next to a beam of light in the vacuum of space and you won’t be able to see the beam. or something like that
