: '''The 'Newton/Huygens' Debate''' → Newton thought light was "Particles" (Corpuscles). Huygens thought it was "Waves." They "Argued" for 100 years until Thomas Young proved Huygens was right.
: '''Michelson-Morley Experiment (1887)''' → Used "Interference" (an Interferometer) to try and find the "Ether." They found "Nothing," which "Accidentally" led to Einstein's "Relativity."
: '''Holograms''' → The ultimate "Wave" art. A hologram doesn't record a "Photo" (Rays); it records the "Interference Pattern" (Waves) of light, allowing you to "See around" objects in 3D.
: '''Adaptive Optics''' → How modern telescopes "Fix" the "Twinkle" of stars. They use "Wave-front sensors" to "Deform" a mirror 1,000 times a second to "Cancel out" the "Wiggles" caused by the atmosphere.
