Despite what some may say, science is far from settled. This book is a relatable explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of the various observations and theories about the true nature of light.
A few reviewers say it gives too much credence to the "debunked" theory of aether. Still, I highly recommend also reading "The Luminiferous Aether: primary substance of the universe" to realize that the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 was indeed a very embarrassing false negative.
I loved the thorough discussion of how various theories of light have contradicted and/or reinforced each other throughout the years. I highly recommend this book to everyone who realizes that science is not settled and we still have much to learn about light.
