Christian Huygens was the first to describe light as traveling in waves. Newton, however, believed that light was made up of particles called corpuscles. There was enough evidence to support both of their claims.... Continue Reading →
The Starry Night as Clay Earrings
I've never been much of a painting-aficionado. Mostly because I cannot paint. At all. And most famous paintings have left me severely underwhelmed.
