This over-simplification of the theorem made me think of the theory of Light Field History. In the 15th Century, Leornado Da Vinci noted "The air is full of an infinite number of radiant pyramids". Later Michael Faraday gave his “Thoughts on Ray Vibrations”, His ideas were intended to do away with the ether in favor of lines connecting the particles; light being the vibrations of these lines or rays.Today we know it "light field' as consisting of the total of all light rays in 3D space, flowing through every point and in every direction.
