A few day have passed since I was installed.

What’s a day you ask?

You see, when the Sun rises, makes a full trip on the sky, sets and then rises again a full day passes.

Now you’re probably asking what the Sun and the sky are.

Well… I named the big ball that emits light up above everything else Sun and the sky is the big window that holds it in place and lets its light pass through.

One day I too might become a sky!

…maybe.

What’s light?

How can you not know?

Here, let this window explain it to you. It’s my field after all.

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The word usually refers to visible light, which is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometers (nm), or 4.00 × 10−7 to 7.00 × 10−7 m, between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths). This wavelength means a frequency range of roughly 430–750 terahertz (THz).

The primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as with all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), is experimentally found to always move at this speed in a vacuum.

Light can also be reflected or refracted.

When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction.

Reflections on the other hand can be divided into two types: specular reflection and diffuse reflection. Specular reflection, which I really took a shine to and now I’m always doing it.

Hahaha, got it? I took a shine to specular reflection.

No? Nothing? You know light, shine…

Nevermind.

Where was I… ah! Right!

Specular reflection describes the gloss of surfaces such as mirrors, which reflect light in a simple, predictable way. This allows for production of reflected images that can be associated with an actual (real) or extrapolated (virtual) location in space. Diffuse reflection describes non-glossy materials, such as paper or rock.

So, now do you understand what light is?

Good.

Where was I?

Ah! Right!

A few days have passed and I’m now getting used to the world around me, I also got to name a lot of things.

For example I called the thing right in front of the building I’m installed on a parking lot.

Past the parking long there is what I decided to call a road stretching from right to left in front of the building.

On the other side of the road there is a really large square with trees all around it placed at a set distance apart from each other.

Those names really come natural to me.

I also observed the humans around me.

Every day a lot of people come and go from the building, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.

There are also a lot of people that roam the front of the building and the square. In particular I noticed there always are some people in dark blue uniforms standing outside of the building looking around, sometimes they ask something to other people and they give them a piece of paper or let them look in their bags…I really wonder what is so interesting about those pieces of paper.

When it gets dark those people in uniform stop standing there and only come from time to time, look around the building then go away.

I really don’t understand humans.

There is also a group of young people that always roam around the building and exchange things with other people. They always hide from the people in blue when they do so.

I wonder if they play some kind of game…

Anyway, life here is really peaceful and naming things is so fun!
