corpuscular and wave theory of light
for human civilization based on being the theory of nothing has always had little luck. This gives rise to the need to think about a whole Aristotelian presence even when it would be more convenient to say that it's absence. Ether performs this function: it defines what is not there but that through it, probably occurs. A basic fact is that optical indicating the propagation of light in a straight line. This is a statement that somehow forces us to revisit the debate the nature of light that has the mid-seventeenth century until the advent of Einstein was a close debate, not devoid of contradictions and surprises. Ether or not light, Newton's theory was accepted until the early nineteenth century, was based on the assumption that light is composed of many small particles fired from a luminous source. According to the theory of the English scientist, the corpuscles in hitting the subject, revealing the nature of light. Since Isaac Newton in 1676 through the prism of his experiment had failed to show the breakdown of the white light of the Sun, his thesis on the particle nature, could have the same luck.
