Fr. Jim Chern on the Speed of Light Vis-à-vis the Mystery of Christmas

"It probably would be a safe bet to say that everyone here has at least heard of a man by the name of Albert Einstein.  If you're like me, you might not really know why he's considered an intellectual heavyweight - you just accept that his face could be an illustration of 'one who is brilliant,' or that his name seems to be synonymous with genius.  If you studied physics in High School (I barely got through Chemistry and Biology, so I didn't) you probably learned a great deal about Einstein and why he is somewhat revered for his knowledge.   Particularly his major contribution to the field of Physics - his discovery of 'the speed of light.'"

In a recent commentary, Father Jim Chern reflected on the mystery of the speed of light vis-à-vis the mystery of Christmas.
