	Using light therapy at home to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
		Light therapy is treatment with a special type of light that is much brighter than a lamp or other light fixture in your home.
		Studies vary as to whether light therapy at other times of the day is less effective, but some people with SAD (perhaps those who wake up normally in the early morning) should do their light therapy for 1 to 2 hours in the evening, ending 1 hour before bedtime.
		The safest light is fluorescent, not full-spectrum or ultraviolet light.

	Light minute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A light minute (also written light-minute) is a unit of length.
		It is defined as the distance light travels in an absolute vacuum in one minute or 17,987,547,480 metres (~18 Gm).
		To give an example, the average distance from the Earth to the Sun (or 1 astronomical unit) is 8.317 light minutes.

	The UnMuseum - Speed of Light
		Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles a second or 700 million miles an hour.
		When we flip on the light in a room there is no delay between when we first see the bulb start glowing and when light illuminates the far corners of the chamber.
		The distance light can travel in a year is called a "light year." The light year is one of the basic measures of distance for astronomy.

		In 1999, a team of scientists led by Lene Hau were able to slow the speed of a light beam to about 61 km/h.
		In 2003, Mikhail Lukin, with scientists at Harvard University and the Lebedev Institute in Moscow, succeeded in completely halting light by directing it into a mass of hot rubidium gas, the atoms of which, in Lukin's words, "[behaved] like tiny mirrors" (Dumé, 2003), due to an interference pattern in two "control" beams.
		The speed of light was first measured in 1676, some decades after Galileo's attempt, by Rømer, who was studying the motions of Jupiter's moonss.

		The most distant space probe, Voyager 1, was 13 light hours away from Earth in September 2004, less than two tenths of one percent of a light year.
		The observable part of the universe has a radius of about 46 billion light years, but light from the edge of the observable universe was emitted only 13.7 billion years ago (the age of the universe).
		Contrary to popular belief, the universe is not expanding at the speed of light, and is not 13 billion or even 46 billion light years across; it is, in fact, much larger, maybe infinite.

		When light therapy is stopped, symptoms do not usually reappear for a few days, so most people can stop the treatment for one or two days without much problem (e.g., for a weekend trip).
		When there is a good response to light therapy, some patients like to experiment with the timing and duration of daily light exposure, e.g., by reducing the daily exposure to 15 minutes, or using the light at a more convenient time of the day (e.g., 7:00 p.m.).
		If light therapy is restarted, use a shorter exposure time (e.g., 15 minutes per day) or sit slightly farther away from the lights.

	A100 at IUN, Fall 1996: Lecture 4.2: The Nature of Light
		Since light is the only way Astrophysicists have of studying these objects, they have had to be very clever and resourceful to try and extract the most information out of the light they can gather.
		Light waves also have a wavelength and this is precisely what distinguishes the different types of light that we talked about.
		So the fact that light doesn't travel instantaneously between two places combined with the fact that objects in the Universe are so far apart make it so that when we look at celestial objects we are seeing them the way the looked in the past.

	Labs from YSI 94 - Measuring the Speed of Light.
		Light travels so quickly that it seems to be instantaneous - we are normally not aware that is has a speed at all.
		Light takes 1.28 seconds to travel from the Moon to Earth, and 500 seconds or 8.3 minutes to travel from the Sun to Earth.
		The number for the speed of light you will find in a textbook is probably in miles per second or in kilometers per second.

	Howstuffworks "What is a light year?"
		Light travels at 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second).
		Therefore, it has taken the star's light 1 million years to get here, and the light we are seeing was created 1 million years ago.
		If the sun were to suddenly explode right now, we wouldn't know about it for eight minutes because that is how long it would take for the light of the explosion to get here.

	Getting the Most Out of Your Light
		Side effects usually result because too much light has been used or the eyes are not used to bright light, and need to be acclimated to the light.
		This can be easily avoided by using the light for only a couple of minutes at a time and very gradually increasing the amount of light used each day.
		If you’ve used the light according to the assessment test, talked with your doctor about using combination therapy, and have experimented for at least 3 – 4 weeks without noticing a change, you probably won’t respond to light.

	Velocity of light Roemer
		Rømer never did compute the speed of light, maybe because he felt that the distance between the Earth and the Sun was not known too well.
		In that, he uses the diameter of earth's orbit and Rømer's value for the light's delay in travelling over the orbits diameter to calculate the speed of light (he was the first to present the velosity with terrestrial units, 16

	How Light Box Treatments Affect Sleep
		Bright light will suppress the production of the sleep inducing hormone, melatonin, and it usually takes a couple of hours before melatonin will again be released.
		As you respond to light therapy and awaken at the time that you need to wake up you may reduce your light therapy time to 15 minutes and see if you are able to maintain the later awakening time.
		People that have trouble falling asleep, awaken frequently, and seem to be awake half the night need to use light as a circadian pacemaker since their circadian rhythm could be split.

	The Light Cone: Einstein-Minkowski Spacetime
		Stan receives ("sees") the light emitted from events F and B simultaneously, and concludes that: "since I am midway between the marks on the tracks, and since the speed of light is a constant, then events F and B are simultaneous."
		Mo receives ("sees") the light emitted from event F, then from B, and concludes that: "since I am midway between the marks on the train, and since the speed of light is a constant, then events F and B are NOT simultaneous: F occurred before B."
		So, it must have taken light one minute (that is, half the roundtrip-time) to get to X. Well, if it was there one minute after I sent the light-pulse out, my watch must have read 12:00 when the pulse reached X. Therefore, I say that "event X is simultaneous with event O."
