(10[2])This “last man who knew (10[1])everything” proposed (10[1])a formula (10[1])for the contact angle (10[1])and derived an equation describing capillary (-5[1])pressure with (-5[1])Pierre-Simon Laplace. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this man who (10[1])“defied Newton” by proving the wave nature of light in his namesake double slit experiment. (10[1])■END■ (10[10])
