[Quranic Reflection]: God is the light of the universe.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

So....   You can't look at something that is unsee-able or you'll go blind?

 Am I paraphrasing that right?

 What happens when we're presented with the concept of "You can't grasp the 'Unknowable'?" Does down that path lie madness?

 

No, somethings are just "too much" for our eyes to look at; we even discovered normal objects in the universe that can turn you blind if you look at them:

Research performed on the International Space Station shows prolonged time in space can cause temporary, and sometimes permanent, blindness, said the space station’s chief scientist recently on “Nevada Newsmakers.”

“One of the things we discovered in the last 10 years is that some astronauts, when they go into space, actually have vision loss,” said Julie Robinson, the chief scientist of the ISS. “A few of those astronauts have permanent vision loss that isn't reversed when they turn to Earth.”

You will lose vision if you look directly at the sun for a long time, even.

Can you provide any evidence that astronauts on the ISS were in the habit of looking directly at the sun? As a group, astronauts are smarter than the average bear - I can’t picture any of them thinking it would be a good idea to ‘look directly at the sun for a long time’.

They’re NOT Staring At The Sun, You Idiot

. A study found that the vision deterioration in astronauts is likely due to the lack of a day-night cycle in intracranial pressure. Researchers found that in zero-gravity conditions, intracranial pressure is higher than when people are standing or sitting on Earth, but lower than when people are sleeping on Earth. This suggests that the constancy of pressure on the back of the eye is what causes the vision problems astronauts experience over time.
