But could it had been foreshadowing a global tribulation? Perhaps a war between Mankind and Extraterrestrial Beings, as UFOlogists suggest? And if so, does it...
In 1905 Albert Einstein proved that light was also particulate - it was made up of tiny individual particles called photons. The problem of light propagation was solved and a bigger mystery was uncovered. Particles exist in their own right and do not need a medium in which to travel through. In a curious echo from the past it seems...
