Late Scientific Revolution - Christian Huygens

Christian Huygens was a pioneering scientist known for founding the wave theory of light and discovering the true shape of Saturn's rings. Born in Holland, he spent significant years in Paris, where he published influential works like 'Horologium Oscillatorium'. Despite his admiration for Newton, Huygens developed his own theories on gravity and light, which he published in 1690. His contributions to dynamics and the nature of light have had a lasting impact on modern science.
