As a staunch supporter of the particle theory of light, Poisson personally dismantled the particle theory in the most renowned conference hall of the time, right in front of countless peers.
From then on, the wave theory of light prevailed, while the particle theory crumbled to dust.
The particle theory wouldn't regain some dignity until Einstein emerged, but by then, the theory of light as particles was completely different from the original particle theory.
So in a way, this was also a little personal wish of Xu Yun.
Rather than having his theory overturned by others in the future, it seemed preferable to let Newton himself discover the problem.
Of course.
From the perspective of physical properties.
Marius's polarization experiment might be a bit more suitable.
After all, it demonstrated transverse waves, and neither definitively proved the particle theory nor the wave theory—it's a rather moderate position.
