AI Article Synopsis

  • The interaction of light, whether natural or artificial, significantly impacts humans and their health.
  • Light exhibits a dual nature, behaving both as waves and as particles (photons), although this duality is not fully understood yet.
  • The review focuses on the history of light and highlights key properties that influence living organisms, particularly in relation to human well-being.

Article Abstract

The physical properties of light, both natural and artificial, play a significant role in its interaction with humans. Although there is a yet-to-be-explained duality between light as waves and light as photons, we do understand many of the characteristics of light that affect living things. Here I review the general history of light and its properties, especially those that affect human health.
