Fits, Passions and Paroxysms: Physics, Method and Chemistry and Newton's Theories of Colored Bodies and Fits of Easy Reflection
Alan E. Shapiro
Professor Alan Shapiro, editor of The Optical Papers of Issac Newton, recounts the development of Newton's theories of the structure of matter and of fits from his pioneering study on the colours of thin films. He also describes a vigourous dispute over Newton's theory of coloured bodies waged by physicists and chemists for nearly fifty years.
