To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or‚ the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal. The works of Euclid (c. 300BCE) in Greece was the origin of optics. In 1604‚ Kepler published a book called Astronomiae Pars Optica (The Optical Part of Astronomy) Kepler approached optics by breaking organic reality into what he considered to be ultimately real units
