Vegetable Oil and Pyrex have the same refractive indexes of 1.47. When light travels through the glass and then the oil, the speed of light slows down and on reflection, makes the glass seem invisible.

‘Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.’ 📖 Surah An-Nur — Ayah 24:35

This When a beam of light passes through different glass shapes, its path changes because of refraction. Refraction happens when light moves from one medium to another—such as from air into glass—and its speed changes.🔦

Fresnel reflection coefficient: R = |(n₁ − n₂)/(n₁ + n₂)|² Pyrex rod (n≈1.474) dropped into glycerin (n≈1.473). Instantly R collapses to zero. No reflection. No interface. The glass simply ceases to exist optically—light passes straight through as if the boundary was never there. Not magic. Not editing. Just Maxwell’s equations enforcing perfect index match. This is why immersion oil, AR coatings, and optical fibers work.

Was really inspired by liquid glass from #WWDC25 and wanted to recreate the feel of it. Love how the glass bends the image and picks up light from everything around it.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. As you approach the speed of light, time stretches and slows down until it reaches the ultimate cosmic speed limit, where time completely stops. This means that for a photon of light created at the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, the exact moment it was born is the exact same instant it strikes your eye; a mind-bending reality proving that for light, the entire history of the universe happens in a single, frozen moment.

HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TURNS ORDINARY PEOPLE INTO WONDERS When the Holy Spirit enters a person’s life, victory has come. Increase has come. Influence has come. Many people miss His power because they don’t recognize His value. The Holy Spirit is the fountain of wisdom. He doesn’t just make men wise; He transforms them into vessels of oil and treasure, filled with light and knowledge. When you honour the oil and engage the Holy Spirit sincerely, step by step, He will turn you into a sign and a wonder. According to Scripture, a wise person is the one who chooses to dwell in the habitation of the wise, and the one who finds the oil: the oil that empowers, enlightens, and makes wise. And then, through spiritual hunger, your vessels expand; filled with oil, filled with knowledge, filled with light, which makes it impossible for your world to ignore you. Watch the full sermon titled "They That Be Wise (The Culture Of Wise Men)" on our YouTube channel at Koinonia Global. #ApostleJoshuaSelman #TheyThatBeWise #TheCultureOfWiseMen #WisdomFromAbove #KoinoniaAbuja #KoinoniaGlobal
