James Clerk Maxwell, in 1861–64, published his theory of electromagnetic fields and radiation, which shows that light has momentum and thus can exert pressure on objects. Maxwell's equations provide the theoretical foundation for sailing with light pressure. So by 1864, the physics community and beyond knew sunlight carried momentum that would exert a pressure on objects.
Radiation pressure in classical electromagnetism:
... it was published by James Clerk Maxwell in 1862,
and proven experimentally ( 1900 - 1901)

1600 Gallileo relativity hypothesis and Naturall Fall Law
1686 Newton ( Gravitation Law )
1861 Maxwell ( EM radiation problem )
2012 - 2015 Marosz below my own interpretation above facts
- Gallileo and Newton didn't use EM raiation when They wrote physics !

I was shocked to read how much pressure can be exerted by x-ray photons in the hydrogen bomb.millions,even billions of psi inside the device.photon compression happens instantaneously long before blast/heat gets to the D2 core
