History – beginning of lighting and the importance of developing within lighting as a source of life

From the early start, as far as 4.5 Billion years B.C in the start of the universe, lighting was one of the first vital elements which created life after the big bang.

In an online publication by titled ‘A History of Light and Lighting’ by Bill Williams (1999), a detailed historical reference was written by the author covering from the early years of the development of natural light up to the recent technological discoveries in artificial lighting.

Although we consider as the sun as a place where no life is possible to be maintained, we leave aside the important of its characteristics which are one of the most vital element in human life and for other living thing. More than 4.5 million years ago the first result from the sun started to emerge here on earth as the initial type of life started to evolve. In his online publication, Williams (1999) described the initial stages of light which were initiated by the early development of earth. With the combination of developed water and vital natural lighting, the very first living thing started to develop.

This development of early life might be considered as a very slow step but is the clearest example that we can have of how important lighting is in our life as planet earth and the sun managed to develop a different sorts of life which eventually developed in a very intelligent life.
