1686 - Newton, understandably for his time, hypothesized the idea that everything including light is reducible to tiny, discontinuous, static 'particles' of 'solid matter' ('the billiard ball concept').

1752 Benjamin Franklin - famous stormy kite flight led him to develop many of the terms that we still use today when we talk about electricity: battery, conductor, condenser, charge, discharge, uncharged, negative, minus, plus, electric shock, and electrician. (Enter 'Benjamin Franklin electricity' google.)

1823 - Faraday discovers the principle of inductance, where a moving magnet generates a flow of electric current in a coil of wire. This experimental observation led to the realization that electricity and magnetism are unified - hence the formulation of the noun 'electromagnetism'. Faraday speculated that Newton's so called particles might actually be tiny charges of electricity; that the electric field ('charged particle') is static (non-expanding) and did not learn of its spatial structure.

1827 - Thomson, Tait, Riemann, Helmholtz (Refer Google)

1861 - Maxwell accurately formulates his renowned electromagnetic equations which predict and determine the field is expanding (generated by and emanating) from all (so called) particles at the same speed as light and gravity and generating the same familiar inverse square (spiderweb) structure as gravity and light. Maxwell expires while attempting to confirm that his mathematically predicted 'space waves' are (in fact) the identity of light.

1886 - Hertz fulfills Maxwell's objective; experimentally confirming Maxwell's electromagnetic equations.

1895 - the discovery of X rays.

1896 - the discovery of radioactivity.

1897 - J. J. Thompson discovers the electron, proving Faraday's hypothesis that Newton's particles actually are microcosmic charges of electromagnetic energy.

1898 - the discovery of radium.

1900 - discovery of black body - discontinuous 'quantized' radiation.

1905 - Brownian motion, photoelectric effect, The Special Theory - about uniform motion and light, thru the equation that light and matter are qualitatively identical.

1916's General Principle, about non-uniform motion and gravity - Einstein states that 'the particle is a localized region of space where the field density is particularly high', and equates gravity with the repelling force of acceleration.

1937 - G.P. Thompson (son of J.J. Thompson - discoverer of the electron) experimentally proves and mathematically confirms that electrons, neutrons and protons are constantly expanding charges of electricity without discontinuous boundaries seperating them from surrounding space. He looks up from his accurate equations and experimental proof, subjectively concludes that he 'must be wrong', because, 'obviously, physical reality at large is not expanding'. Refer, J.W.N. Sullivan, THE LIMITATIONS OF SCIENCE.
