The global flow of silver from the mid-sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century had vast effects both socially and economically around the world. By this time an interregional trade network had been clearly established and world trade was booming. When China, a prominent trade nation, accepted silver as its currency and would only exchange for it, the importance of silver increased. This new rapid scramble for silver proved to be both beneficial and disastrous. While countries which were lucky geographically in their supply of raw silver could now trade prominently with China, demand created an increase of labor and social unrest.

The Global flow of silver from mid 16th century to early 18th century, while resulting in increase of wealth to the merchants, eventually lead to social inequality through economic status. It also resulted in the weakening of states that supplied or received silver in vast quantities due to the increase of monetized economies. The effects of the Global flow of silver is best understood in the context of the growth of mercantilist economies in which during the 15th and 18th century European nations competed against each other to boost national revenue. Particularly, European nations trading along the Indian Ocean region for Indian cloth and spices, which in turn resulted in the establishment of government funded joint-stock companies such as the East India Company and trading posts.

Light, a concept that has been worked with for many years dating back to 500 B.C. Pythagoras hypothesized that humans perceive light due to the human eyes ability to emit rays upon the environment and the emittance gives a human his or her sight (Sekuler). Afterward, human intellectuals started making it more concise to present day knowledge of light. This development of light came from two intellectuals named Christian Huygens and Isaac Newton. Newton exclaimed during the 1700s that light was a stream of particles carrying energy but Huygens, Newton’s contemporary, thought that light needed this invisible “ether” in order for these streams to make light travel. Then, a couple hundred years later, modern scientists such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Young, and Augustin Fresnel proved Isaac’s and Huygens’ hypotheses of light (Rossing, 23-24). This is how the basis of light was created.
