The newtons theroy of it should be trueDuring the first half of the 19th century‚ scientists such as John Herschel‚ Fox Talbot‚ and William Swan studied the spectra of different chemical elements in flames. Gradually‚ the idea that each element produces a set of characteristic emission lines was established. Each element has several prominent‚ and many lesser‚ emission lines in a characteristic pattern. Sodium‚ for example‚ has two prominent yellow lines (the so-called D lines) at 589.0 and 589.6

way they approached this topic to the scientific community. Firstly‚ Albert’s comment “A groundbreaking discovery is treated as a measurement error simply because scientists are unwilling to question their dogma” is based off of Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions. The current paradigm of this time was that the fastest particle on Earth travels at the speed of light. A paradigm dictates the methods and boundaries regarding what is studied in the scientific community. This proposed discovery defies
