Newton's particle model of light obviously deals with DISCONTINUOUS
STRUCTURES. On the other hand, Einstein's light postulate

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ "...light is
always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is
independent of the state of motion of the emitting body."

is incompatible with Newton's particle model and can only be dealt
with in terms of the wave model of light presenting light as a
CONTINUOUS FIELD. Now even the silliest zombies in Einstein criminal
cult will be able to understand the confession Einstein made at the
end of his life:

http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/pdf/files/975547d7-2d00-433a-b7e3-4a09145525ca.pdf
Albert Einstein: "I consider it entirely possible that physics cannot
be based upon the field concept, that is on continuous structures.
Then nothing will remain of my whole castle in the air, including the
theory of gravitation, but also nothing of the rest of contemporary
physics."
