March 17 - Irish Light

 This is an easy day to pick something special, especially for those of us who play the pipes.  Interesting that it's a day where they want us to play our Scottish bagpipes for an Irish day.


St. Patrick's Day comes from the fact that today was supposed to be the day that St. Patrick was either supposed to have given a sermon about the shamrock being like the trinity or the day he was captured by pirates and taken to Ireland.

It's also the day that in 1905 Albert Einstein published his theory on the "Quantum Theory of Light".



The idea was that when needed, light behaves like a particle, and at other times it behaves like a wave
