It is interesting to me that light is both matter AND energy (and we observe in science that matter and energy can go back and forth). Time, however, is vastly different. It is not a thing in and of itself. Time, instead, is a by-product of matter in motion.
“Time, instead, is a by-product of matter in motion.”
Well, that’s one of the old ways of thinking about time, that it was just kind of an after effect of measuring motion in matter, and noticing that motions could be cyclical so we could derive units of time from those cycles.
But Einstein showed that in fact almost the opposite is true. For matter experiences time only because our motion in space is so small. Energy, on the other hand, which can move through space at the speed of light, experiences no time at all. So it may be that time is actually the byproduct of a deficiency of motion, and not motion itself.

There is a kabbalistic concept that the "let there be light" (yehi ohr) part of Genesis 1:3 is the direct light (represented by the letter vav), the "yasher ohr". The "and there was light" (veyehi ohr) is the returning light, the light of the bride, represented by the letter zayin.
You can get an idea of this in the explanation of the letter zayin, HERE. Also that this relates to the traditional form of the letter chet (as a vav + zayin) as the man and woman standing under the wedding canopy. HERE.
It (this running and returning of light) further pulls in the concept of one (echad), unity, as the sum is 6 + 7 = 13 = echad (one, as in Day One) and also love (ahavah).
Which draws in the 6 connected to 7 as "67", which = "a Jewish heart" (lev Yehudi). The same letters rearrange to "the 4th of July". I'm just tossing this stuff out there as it comes to mind. If per chance anyone wants further clarification I can get to it later on if requested.

A lot of people see the word "kabbalah" and think mystical gibberish and/or Madonna, but it's actually a simple representational system like circuit diagrams or building blueprints.
Those sages were way ahead of their time. :)
