That's so cool. It's really weird because I don't fully understand how this happens and makes me second guess how everything I take for granted in the world actually works, lol.

I should have paid more attention in physics and calculus. Maybe if I re-grounded myself in the principles of light and matter I could wrap my head around this. For now, it reads like Greek to me, but the proof is undeniable.
