A single cell genetically engineered to express green fluorescent protein can be used to amplify the light particles called photons into nanosecond-long pulses of laser light.
The Cabala expresses creation as being two Yishot/Isness between one Aiyin/Nothing; the nothing is also separated into two – one that enlivens the creation and the other that is directly connected to the Creator. Separation between Creator and creation is fundamental.
The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, If God were to put a little finger into creation all of what is would vanish. The power of the Creator reduces creation into nothing. But, because of the greatness of the Creator even the nothing is, as if it is, something and can be divided.
Light is the metaphor for Isness whereas darkness appears to be nothing; the light of the sun transverses through the dark before emerging back into light due to the power of our atmosphere – air is the next most sublime of the four elements: fire, air, water and earth.
The water reflects the light but earth absorbs the light. The light of the earth, in the Cabala, is called Ore Chazir/Returning Light because this is the lowest place in creation – from here the light can only return. Like water, light purifies through the earth.
