Description
Excerpt from Optics Without Mathematics
But what is Light? We may say that it is that by which we see. But what is its nature? The true answer is probably far beyond the capacity of such a poor ignorant creature as man. We know nothing of the true nature of gravity, or electricity, or chemical action, any more than of light. All we can do is to seek for such an explanation as will account best for the properties of light, and to content our selves with that till we are permitted to find a better. Such an explanation is given in a very complete and remarkable manner by what.
