This follows a continuation of the conversation between Mr. Abhay Kanchan and myself, with the topic of discussion veering to the fact of human beings being "slowed-down light". Disclaimer: The following has been once again dramatised for reading pleasure.
"r a s h a a d says: okay.
we'd have to start at the beginning naturally, for everything to make sense."
"AbHaY says: ok,start."
We started the conversation with the beginning of the material universe with the Big Bang, the creation of sub-atomic particles from electromagnetic radiation caused by the collision of photons(light) with relation to the expansion of the universe. Abhay politely comments on my impressive scientific knowledge for someone who doesn't study the subject.
"r a s h a a d says:so inevitably subatomic particles consist of photons right?"
(Meaning that if you examined what sub-atomic particles were, they'd be collided photons.)
We continued to discuss how the joining of sub-atomic particles form atoms, atoms through nuclear fission form elements, and then you get your various molecules.
"r a s h a a d says: elements and molecules form amino acids right?"
"AbHaY says:wtf yes but how is that related?"
"r a s h a a d says: im getting there."
"Amino acids are the building blocks of life right?", I asked him which he replied in accord. "Its where you get your protein and shit, biological life and then arranged in its most complex manner, you basically get us, correct?"
"AbHaY says: yeess..."
"r a s h a a d says: now scroll up."
"r a s h a a d says: we are a material representation of light arranged in its most complex possible form, hence "slowed-down light".
The conclusion can be reached using Einstein's formula, where if we as mass were to travel at the speed of light, we would be energy/photons.
"AbHaY says:wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"
"AbHaY says: thats damn cool."
"AbHaY says:its all so clear to me now
thanks man
that was interesting"
And so Abhay decided to return to his Physics, as I decided to return to my writing and await the next opportunity to discuss science philosophically.
The End
