“…This is how the ISpEF propagates continually in the forward direction after it emanates from the source. The wave nature was first postulated by C. Huygens, who theorized that the light propagates as a wave front [60]. He further explained that, at any given instant, each point on the wave front is the origin of a secondary wave that propagates outward as a spherical wave.…”

“…The secondary waves then combine to form a new wave front. However, the Huygens principle does not explain the unidirectional propagation of waves; according to the Huygens theory, a backward wave should be formed in the reverse direction [60,61]. Formation of backward wave was omitted in the Huygens theory [62].…”

“…In 1676 Ole Rømer's measurement of the velocity of light from observations of the eclipses of Jupiter added grist to his mill, and Huygens soon succeeded in explaining the strange properties of the Iceland spar on the basis of his wave theory. In 1679 he was able to read a nearly definitive version of his Traité de la lumière, although this was not published until 1690 (Huygens, 1690). 27 In the first chapter of this treatise, Huygens rehearsed the classical arguments in favor of light as a mode of motion and the controversial argument that the high speed of light and the lack of mutual perturbation of crossing rays excluded the concept of light as an emanation.…”
