Let us guard against stripping our science of its share of poetry. Let us also beware of the inclination, which I have detected in some, to be ashamed of this poetic quality.

While light has been scarce and expensive for almost all of human history, the past two centuries or so saw the cost of light (the price per lumen-hour) drop by a factor of ten thousand.

I never really thought of the cost of light
