Wave–particle duality

The history of light if funny.

First people thought it was a particle, as per corpuscular theory of light, notably Newton supported the corpuscular theory of light.

But then evidence of the diffraction of light start to become unbearably strong, culminating in the Arago spot.

And finally it was understood from Maxwell's equations that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, as its speed was perfectly predicted by the theory.

But then evidence of particle nature started to surface once again with the photoelectric effect. Physicists must have been driven mad by all these changes.
