"For... small things, there must be something else. There is. We call it the electric interaction (more generally, the electromagnetic interaction), and it arises from an endowment of matter known as the . Standing still, an electrically charged particle throws up an to which other charged particles can respond. Electric or magnetic, charge gives rise to both. Whether we say "electric potential" (because we perceive a charge to be at rest) or "" (because we perceive a charge to be in motion), the difference lies solely in our point of view. The source is one. From the world of mass we descend... into the world of charge, ready to see our most familiar surroundings in a new light. Let there be electric charge."

Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz. The visible band sits adjacent to the infrared and the ultraviolet, called collectively optical radiation.

"I have also cleared the electromagnetic theory of light from all unwarrantable assumption, so that we may safely determine the velocity of light by measuring the attraction between bodies kept at a given difference of potential, the value of which is known in electromagnetic measure."

"A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty."
