Default Is there a Philosopher in the House?

Hello Everyone!

I read this quote this morning and can not get it out of my head! And since I know there is at least one resident Physicist here, as well as many philosophers, we might collectively figure out what this brilliant person was trying to communicate beyond simply confusing my finite brain.

Without any further procrastination, here are the words of that wonderfully philosophical physicist:
Albert Einstein.

As the circle of light grows, so does the
circumference of darkness around it.
- Albert Einstein

**So my question is this: Is he saying that as light gets bigger, so does the darkness?

Is he saying, maybe, as we bring more lightness to the world, the darkness is not overtaken, instead it is "empowered" somehow also?

Is he saying, "Get over it, you'll never figure it out anyway?" so embrace the paradox within?

So, I would love to hear your thoughts in this one, since I so enjoy Professor Einstein's incites as WELL as all of yours...

With Purpose and Passion and Questioning,
