"Light is a wave consisting of a coupled oscillating electric and magnetic fields which are orthogonal to each other in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (in vacuum),"

Now that right there is one heck of a sentence.

Doesn’t it depend on whether someone is observing it? I am confused about that, and I’m not the only one.

That’s nothing compared to:

“While 3I’s inversion angle resembles that of rare F-type asteroids and cometary nuclei, the depth of its negative polarization branch is almost twice as large. Extrapolation to very small phase angles indicate a steep polarization slope between phase angles 0–2°, reminiscent of certain small TNOs and Centaurs. While this finding is tentative due to a lack of data at small phase angles, it is consistent with the red spectral slope and evidence of water-ice detections in various independent studies.”
