John Norton: "It [the emission theory] was a lovely theory. But it
didn't work. We can only guess what the problems were. But we know he
found many. Indeed Einstein seems to have expended considerable energy
trying to figure out if any emission theory might work. His later
recollections are littered with different reasons for why no emission
at all could do justice to electrodynamics."

"then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work
that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he
will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot
find it out." Ecclesiastes 8:17
