"Unveiling Light Waves: The 350-Year-Old Theorem's Quantum Insights"

Researchers at the Stevens Institute of Technology have used a mechanical theorem from a book written by Christiaan Huygens in 1673 to explain the complex behaviors of light waves. The nature of light has long been debated, with scientists divided on whether it should be classified as a wave or a particle. Quantum physics further complicated the understanding by suggesting that light exists as both simultaneously.
