Descartes prescribed what the telescope should be according to mathematical theory. Since the time of Newton & Huygens physicists have been arguing over the wave-particle thing. The arbitrary assumptions made by Fresnel to arrive at the Huygens–Fresnel equation emerge automatically from the mathematics in this derivation. In the field of mathematics and physics, Huygens wrote several publications on probability theory, worked on the law of motion, and became well known for his wave theory of light from 1678. From the Preface: ``The present monograph deals with the mathematical theory of Huygens' principle in optics and its application to the theory of diffraction. To a single (hypothetical) principle so that every successful explanation offered a higher order of probability to the hypothesis. My thesis is that the “wave” theory of light is a circular argument, based on Huygens untested assumption that waves impinge on a slit (or edge). It still wouldn't mean that OTCs exist, but it would mean the mathematical model of an OTC would be a valid representation of a physical reality (gravity). Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. A simple example of the operation of the principle can be seen Using Huygens' theory and the principle of superposition of waves, the complex amplitude at a further point P is found by summing the contributions from each point on the sphere of radius r0. I expect disagreement, but that's why we're here. The Chaos theory is a field in mathematics theory, which studies the behaviour of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, an effect which is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. 1.1 Early mathematical works; 1.2 Discovery of the rings of Saturn; 1.3 Invention of the pendulum clock; 1.4 Principles of mechanics; 1.5 Circular motion; 1.6 Wave theory of light; 1.7 Later years. The easiest way for me is If you look at this you find that it's a vector in the direction of motion, and, per the uncertainty principle, describes the degree of uncertainty in terms of the relationship between displacement and momentum.
