Reading On a heuristic point of view about the creation and conversion of light | Alexandria
Read On a heuristic point of view about the creation and conversion of light by Albert Einstein. Challenging Newton's wave theory of light, Einstein's revolutionary 1905 paper proposed that light behaves as discrete particles (photons) - an idea that defied classical physics and laid groundwork for quantum mechanics. His mathematical proof that light could be both wave and particle remains one of science's most elegant solutions to a seemingly impossible paradox.
