      Well to me Electro magnetics is all about light. Without light it’s quite hard to do any astronomy. In fact the only way to study the universe without light is using gravitational waves, and they haven’t even found one of those yet (after about 30 years of trying). The most intriguing thing about light – we don’t really know what it is. Is it a wave? Is it a particle? We can see what it does and how it interacts with things but what it actually is when you get down to the nitty gritty is… some maths. At least at this point.
