[单项选择]In addition to his theory of color, Newton developed a theory of how light travels. This is known as the corpuscular theory of light, meaning that light travels as a series of tiny bits rather than in continuing waves. Newton sent his writings to the Royal Society where they were given to a committee led by Hooke. Since the corpuscular theory was different from his own theory, Hooke attacked the paper. Soon others started to argue, and Hooke was supported by a scientist from Holland, Chritain Huygens. At one time, Newton was so unhappy with the whole affair that he decided never again to publish any of his work.
The bitter argument continued over the years that followed. At first, Hooke and Huygens received most of the support. Later, after Newton had changed his mind and let his work on gravity be published, he became so famous that things changed. Now people believed Newton could do nothing wrong, and for a hundred years they followed his theory. Then, in the early part of the 1
