Ever since the beginning of history, humankind has been the benefactor of light’s miracles. The interconnection between life and light is so strong that man has been searching for an answer to the question - what is light? Over the last century, developments and many breakthroughs in this journey have been made. Albert Einstein was one of the prominent scientists who addressed the fundamental nature of light.
