Why can you see both a light bulb and a lamp base?
The light bulb is inside the lamp base, right?so, when you turn on the lamp, the light shines THROUGH the lamp base, although dimmer, so you can se both. if you took the lamp base off, the light bulb would look brighter.

Will a light bulb light if its metal tip rests on metal casing?
The metal tip of a light bulb has to make contact with the bottom of the lamp holder's middle center contact to operate.
What simple machines make up the base of a light bulb?
The simple machine that makes up the base of a light-bulb is just a screw. That screw allows you to insert the light-bulb into the base of a lamp. You must make sure to get the grooves of the screw lined up to properly tighten the bulb into place.

Can dielectric grease be used on the contact point of a light bulb socket?
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.
Why did the breaker blow when I changed the light bulb?
Breakers don't blow, they trip. Do you mean a fuse? If you are talking about a breaker, you can reset it. Wether it was a breaker tripping or a fuse blowing from installing a new bulb, if the light switch was on when you installed the bulb you got an initial surge from the immediate completion of the circuit. The only thing to be cautious about is a possible fault in the light bulb base. See if the new bulb lasts or if it burns out quickly, you might have a short in the light fixture which needs to be addressed because it could be a fire/electrical hazard. -- If the bulb is a "bayonet cap" bulb there are two contact pads on the base of the bulb and two barbs protruding from the sides. When the bulb is first inserted, before twisting to lock, the bulb contact pads can bridge the live contacts on some light fittings and short the circuit, causing the breaker to trip. Always turn the light switch off when changing a bulb (usually the up position). If you are not sure where "off" is then turn the light circuit off at the breaker and use a table lamp for ambient light.
