| Summary, etc |
Here is the story of the greatest puzzle in our universe: what is light? Light Years explores our understanding of light from the spiritual interpretations of the Neolithic worshippers at Stonehenge, the Ancient Egyptians and the Mayans, through our first scientific attempts to understand light, and up to the present day. It looks over the shoulders of the great revolutionaries of light theory - Bacon, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Einstein, and Feynman - and traces the evolution of light driven-devices from the camera to the laser. |
