Illuminating the Universe: The History of Light

The video explores the evolution of our understanding of light and vision, starting from ancient Greek theories to modern quantum theory. It highlights key discoveries, such as Ibn Al-Haytham's experiments, Romer's measurement of light speed, Newton's color theory, and the development of the electromagnetic spectrum. The video concludes with the dual nature of light as both a wave and a particle, setting the stage for modern quantum theory.
