100 Years Before Quantum Mechanics, a Physicist Spotted Its Hidden Clue

Hamilton’s 19th-century insight connecting light and motion became a cornerstone of quantum mechanics and modern physics. William Rowan Hamilton, the Irish mathematician and physicist born 220 years ago last month, is often remembered for an unusual act in 1843, when he carved a mathematical formula into the stone of Dublin’s Broome Bridge.
