Here’s the thing about light: you can’t trust it. Is it an electromagnetic wave? Or a stream of photons? Or both? You never really know, do you. Some light exists outside the visible spectrum; we can’t even see it, let alone know what it’s up to. Even when we can see it, it sometimes bends. Or bounces off stuff and caroms off things and does weird, crazy stunts. If you’re not careful, it’ll get in your eyes and annoy you. If you get too familiar with it, light can burn you.
And when you’re not looking–when you’re just minding your own business, taking the dog for a walk, buying something cool to drink–it can sneak right up behind you and leap on your back.
Don’t get me wrong; I like light. I really do. But I wouldn’t trust it as far as I could throw it.
