Maxwell is underrated
What is his rating?
@@jee.2026. woosh
no. he is not underrated. every physics major student knows him. every physics textbook has maxwell equations
We can both agree on that
He is up there with Newton, Einstein, and Dirac but that is my opinion...
Maxwell’s legacy doesn’t need to be propped up through Einstein, he’s a genius in his own right and at the same level as Einstein.
Maxwell is indeed the father of Modern Physics, as some describe him. I am adding this video to my collection of papers and videos about Maxwell. Thank you!
Grandfather of modern physics
Please do the magnificent Boltzmann: the great man, physicist, and philosopher whose incredible works inspired and led to quantum mechanics, who also expanded and went beyond Maxwell's work on statistical mechanics. It's extremely needed, new to TH-cam, and would look awesome with this quality of videos you guys post.
I appreciate your channel!!
Please watch on TH-cam: 100 Million Einstein Lies
Agreed!
It is strange how, 150 years later, the majority of people still find very hard to comprehend the concept of electromagnetic field and develop any application, using the four Maxwell's equation.
Everybody is happy to utilise an application of an electromagnetic field - a smartphone, a microwave oven, a TV, a Wi-Fi router - without giving an hitch on why the thing work.
Nature is great, the master of all things, an inspiration for those who believe in God; Maxwell was an outstanding mind - only today we are grasping the fact that his intuition was at almost the same level of Einstein Relativity theory.
Thank you for the video...
The collaboration between Faraday & Maxwell is grossly under-appreciated.
One was a self-made man and the other a geeky math whiz, quite a pair!
Discussing Maxwell's invention of the displacement current as his AHA! contribution when considering the magnetic field of a charging capacitor would have been nice.
Scotland with a population of only 3m in the 19th and 20th century has produced many of what we use today, MRI, Radar, Logs, TV, Phones, Toadter, Microwave, Wattage, Geology, Medicine, from England we appreciate our Smart and cleaver Scottish neighbours 🇬🇧
Some other Scottish inventions in every day use. the flushing toilet,the bicycle, the refrigerator,tarmac for roads, the postage stamp,just a few more in the long list of many more , it’s incredible for the small population of Scotland to have contributed to man and mankind ,without any shadow of doubt, Scotland and Scot’s made the modern world .
Check out "How the Scots invented the Modern World" by Arthur Herman.
Maxwell's contributions to Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics laid the ground work for Quantum Mechanics.
He also made significant contribution in statistical mechanics and control theory.
Thank you for sharing this informative video about James Maxwell's groundbreaking contributions to physics. His theories on electromagnetism continue to shape our understanding of the universe today. It's amazing to think that his work over a century ago laid the foundation for many of the technological advancements we enjoy today. Truly a remarkable scientist!
Makes me proud to be Scottish.🩻
At 6:23 the woman says Maxwell's work was the most important of the 20th century ...... it should be 'of the 19th century'.
Yeah but most of the technological advancements in 19th century was possible reu to Maxwell's theory.
"When we turn our attention to the general case of electrodynamics ... our first impression is surprise at the enormous complexity of the problems to be solved.", Max Planck (1932), quoted at the opening of Chapter 15 "General Electromagnetic Fields" in Andrew Zangwill's "Modern Electrodynamics.
Perhaps the most underrated scientist, who, more than anyone else, was responsible for the technologies of the modern world
him and also Tesla
@@roozbehsadrolashrafiTesla was an engineer
Such a great man! Thanks for the video.
Maxwell had a wide band of knowledge.
He understood the mathematics and physics of fuid flow and force fields.
Please do a story on Srinivasa Ramanujan. He was a self taught mathematician and I think his story is extraordinary.
His work includes extending the fields complex analysis, number theory, infinite series (he founded a formula for infinite series of pi), and continued fractions.
Ok, pajeet
E=MC2/ Einstein = MaxwellClerk squared.
Nickolas and maxwell most underrated gems 😢😢
How could somebody just realise that colour is made of red or green or blue, exceptional genius.
Your channel is amazing. you definitely deserve more views
Maxwell is undoubtedly among the greatest scientists ever lived!
Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle >>
Respect to James Clarke Maxwell. His brilliant ability in mathematics was the answer Michael Faraday was looking for because he was being ridiculed for his theories, but had no mathematics literacy, in order to do the equations, to prove his theories. JC Maxwell appeared on his doorstep with the magic...
"What's the go a' that?", JCM as a kid ... and as a grown man.
Maxwell is the ultimate testament that you can be a Christian and also become a scientific giant.
Agreed! The same goes with a number of other scientists who were devout christians as well.
Together with Euler, they are my favorites christian scientists
There are ALWAYS exceptions to the rules.
Believing in a higher power makes sense really, science is kind of a religion also and has many good things with advancing us along, but remember one thing if we could measure and study everything in the universe and put it all in a book you would still be left with the question of where does the universe come from and science does not really have any better answers than the bible.
There are no real answers to these things and i remember yogis saying something like we don't concern ourselves with what god is doing as it was above their understanding :)
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Was that Maxwell's discovery alone? Didn't Faraday play a major role in the revelation as well?
Newsthink the channel deserve 'like' as it gives this type of website resources!❤
Best video for inspiring scientist very well written spekn and delivered
this gave me chills, what a brilliant man!
pure joy this video
Brilliant video! Thank you so much for these lovely biographies on physicists and other scientists! One of these figures I often find not much explored is the Indian astronomer Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Who’s name reigns familiar to many modern day astronomers due to his significant contributions to our understanding of stars. Though for more than the science, he is an interesting case of someone moving abroad to pursue his scientific endeavors as well as facing opposition of his ideas due to the prejudices of a more well-known superior in that time (Eddington. Who proved Einstein’s theory of general relativity with the eclipse). Keep up the great content!
Maxwell didn't discover the link between magnetism and electricity, that was Faraday.
What Maxwell did was deriving the total mathematical representation of such a phenomenon.
It's like before Newton, apple still falls from tree. But Newton put in in a formula.
Hans Christian Oersted physician from Denmark discovered connection between magnetism and electricity in 1820 year.
@@grzegorzlagut8917 Not really, because Oersted only discovered only half of it.
The creation of magnetic field via a current is one thing. But the more significant phenomenon is the creation of current via changing magnetic field. That was done by Faraday.
Beautifully explained the life of Maxwell. Can you make a video of Srinivasa Ramanujan or CV Raman one of the greatest in the field of Mathematics and Physics respectively
yes please 🙏
True genius!
I love your channel because of your such contents and as usual your voice fits the best
Thank you for this quote that I saw for the first time: "Science is but an image of the truth, and should speak only so far as it is spoken to.” I will be sharing it with my students.
0:19 Dont’t forget that it was the danish physicist H.C. Oersted who discovered the link between magnetism and electricity.
And also michale farady
We need More such physics videos. You are really good it
I love what you teach me and look forward to Every video. Thank You.
You quickly became one of my favorite channels.
Please make a documentary on David Hilbert.......plzplzplz
Newton
Maxwell
Einstein …
In that order!
This is awesome, such an inspiration.
He also wrote poetry. I once read that most physicists are confortable with Einstein's Mathematics, but few understand Maxwell's.
The way to combine general relativity and quantum mechanics is to realize that they take place at different moments in time. Because causality has a speed limit (c) every point in space where you observe it from will be the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles (GR). When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment (QM). The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is making measurements in the predictable past. QM is trying to make measurements of the probabilistic future.
It is not accurate to say that GR is making measurements of the past while QM is making predictions of the future. Both theories can make predictions about the past, present, and future, depending on the context in which they are applied. However, they do so in different ways and at different scales.
Light travels at a finite speed, so the light that we receive from distant stars and galaxies is actually a snapshot of what they looked like in the past. However, this does not mean that we are seeing the past itself, but rather a record of what happened in the past.
When we observe smaller and smaller particles, we are not necessarily looking closer at the present time. Quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory, and the wave function of a particle represents the probability of finding the particle in a particular state at a particular time. This means that the wave function can give us information about the future as well as the past. In fact, according to the time-reversal symmetry of quantum mechanics, the laws of physics are the same whether time runs forwards or backwards.
7:55 can someone rephrase that and tell me again? It didn’t make sense, is it because the ball’s speed isn’t constant?
In that example, if she threw a ball towards you at 20 mph, the relative velocity between you and the ball will be 20 mph. But if you move towards her at 5 mph and then she throws the ball towards you at 20 mph, the relative velocity would be 20+5 = 25 mph. In the same way, if you move away from her at the same speed, that number would be 20-5 = 15 mph. Basic Newtonian Physics. But no matter how absurd it sounds, light simply doesn't obey this rule. Like, if she flashed a light beam towards you at 20 mph (The actual speed of light is always 299792458 m/s) and you start running towards her at 5 mph, the relative velocity of you and the ball is not gonna be 20+5 = 25 mph, but just 20 mph. Similarly, if you move away from her at 5 mph, the relative velocity would still be 20 mph and not 20-5 = 15 mph. In real life, no matter how fast you run towards or away from a light beam, it will always be at exactly 299792458 m/s relative to you.
I'll never forget Maxwell's equations from when I studied Physical Chemistry in college.
Please watch on TH-cam: 100 Million Einstein Lies
Amazing, an informative video. Can you possibly do a video on Richard P Feynman?
Already done: th-cam.com/video/yRcOEnIOzII/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much
Your videos are just the best.
Thanks
Really love your videos!!!!❤❤❤❤
I dont know why but all the maxwells that I know of are all extraordinary. - James maxwell, Glenn maxwell and Gavin Maxwell
I asked an electrician many years ago what he thought of Faraday and Maxwell, he said “Who?” ‘Nuff said.
Published his first paper at 14 🙄? I guess that is because they didn't have tiktok.
You seem to have James Joule in one of your “Maxwell” photos?
What a curve ball, I thought this was going to be about Ernst Mach
Violet= 50 Ohm gives off willingly the color of ROYAL
So many did not understand Maxwell. But Einstein truly recognized Maxwell's genius. Maxwell noted the RGB sequence. Maxwell's prediction of Saturn's rings was exceptional. I think Isaac Newton Vail has suggested the planetary rings on Earth (like Saturn's rings) collapsed on their planets resulting in various Great Deluges over Earth's geological history.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Michael!
Maxwell did so much contribution to science
Micheal Faraday was the first person to hypothesize EM waves.
Look into Bergson
I've always thought it was Minkovvski...
Can you make a video about guglielmo marconi
What a life
I love James Maxwell. He was amazing
I hate James Maxwell. He was uninspiring.
@@icemine2418 I disagree
Maxwell was so unique, I love how fascinating his ideas on electromagnetism inspired so many good scientists to come, and contributed to the birth of the scientists Einstein and the engineer Tesla. Thank you for rendering the world a better place!
Great human. Practical applications are great, but theoretical science provides a framework for them, so I regard it higher. Not only that, but theoretical science aims to satisfy our thirst for knowledge about how things work, which in my view is the highest of goals.
Another video for why I'm subscribed to this channel. :)
"170" years later, and sadly Edinburgh University suffers from the same discrimination, as does the city of Edinburgh itself!
I have lived in Edinburgh, and spent 2 1/2 years semi-homeless here, and have not found the city welcoming in this respect, and that even now "8 years" later, that same stint of homelessness follows me around, and I am still 'banned' from various activities now. Nothing else, but 'crass discrimination' and these are organisation on their websites speak of 'inclusivity.'
which song is this?
Just to clarify, Michael Faraday is generally credited with connecting electricity to magnetism with his thoroughly extensive experiments. It is Faraday’s publishings that inspired Maxwell to formalize electromagnetism in a single mathematical structure. Faraday and Maxwell were well aware of each other and there was a great amount of admiration between the two. Faraday fully deserves credit and is inspirational for his lack of formal education, his preternatural experimental talent and his unmatched execution of science 9even with no mathematical rigor). He discovered electromagnetism with his wits and rigor and it is incredibly impressive in its own right.
This is not to diminish Maxwell’s contributions, if anything a blanket credit for electromagnetism is underselling his influence on all physics to come after his model. His field theories revolutionized modeling in physics and set a new standard for mathematical rigor going forward. But he did not discover the relation between electricity and magnetism, he formalized it mathematically (and then showed how light is involved just as a consequence of his model)
He is so understand 😢
Engrish moment
He is one of the greatest minds in human history❤❤
No he wasn’t ❤️❤️
Kamień Feliks. Currently the fastest spinning stone on the planet
great content as always!
I'd say preceded would be the right word.
6:20 I think she means... the 19th Century.
James Clerk Maxwell is my lifelong hero. Probably the greatest scientist of all time. The giant who,, standing on his shoulders, allowed Einstein to see father...
damn that t shirt is cool
Title suggestion, Albert Einstein said "I Stand On The Shoulders Of Maxwell"
Saying, Albert Einstein Said, at the beginning draws the eye and curiosity, having Maxwell in the title is needed for a search word relevant to the video and quoting Einstein shows you're bringing facts and not opinions.
I understand my channel & videos are nowhere near the caliber of yours. I use TubeBuddy often to decide on Keyword to use in title, video title in file name to upload, first few seconds of video and first part of description.
Albert Einstein didn't have any IQ
IQ means saved data in computer.
Very touching video😮
Now it is time for me be the Einstein of neuroscience. Amin. Amin . Amin.
There's been some great British scientists. Newton, Faraday, Green, Clerk Maxwell, Heaviside, Rutherford, Dirac...
I think, humans see "Red" , "Yellow" "Blue" in Nature. e.g drawings. "Red" , "Green", "Blue" is for TV and electronic display screeens.
Most important discovery of the 19th century ... NOT of the 20th century.
From Galileo to Boltzmann (2015)
Maxwell and Heaviside are is the real hero of physics. Einstein as you will see lead us down a rabbit hole. Maxwell showed that setting the wave equation = 0, shows that EM fields propagates at speed c. But Heaviside showed that this only approximately valid in the farfield, and in the nearfield the wave equation must be set to a source term. Analysis shows that the fields propagate instantaneously in the nearfield and reduce to the speed of light in the farfield. Recent experiments have confirmed this. This occurs for not only the phase speed, group speed, but also the information speed. See the links below for more information. So the speed of light is not a constant and any theory such as Special Relativity or General Relativity that assumes this is wrong!
A derivation of Relativity using instantaneous nearfield light, yields Galilean Relativity, where time is the same in all inertial frames and no Relativistic effects are observed. This can be easily seen by inserting c=infinity into the Lorentz Transform, yielding the Galilean Transform. So, Relativistic effects will observed if a moving body is observed using farfield light, but no Relativistic effects will be observed if instantaneous nearfield light is used. How can the effects of Relativity be real if they can be switched off by simply changing the frequency of the light used to observe them. The only possible conclusion is that Relativistic effects are just an optical illusion, and that Galilean Relativity is the correct theory of Relativity, where time is absolute, only the present exists, the past is gone, and the future is yet to be.
Since General Relativity is based on Special Relativity, then it has the same problem. A better theory of Gravity is Gravitoelectromagnetism which assumes gravity can be mathematically described by 4 Maxwell equations, similar to to those of electromagnetic theory. It is well known that General Relativity reduces to Gravitoelectromagnetism for weak fields, which is all that we observe. Using this theory, analysis of an oscillating mass yields a wave equation set equal to a source term. Analysis of this equation shows that the phase speed, group speed, and information speed are instantaneous in the nearfield and reduce to the speed of light in the farfield. This theory then accounts for all the observed gravitational effects including instantaneous nearfield and the speed of light farfield. The main difference is that this theory is a field theory, and not a geometrical theory like General Relativity. Because it is a field theory, Gravity can be then be quantized as the Graviton.
Lastly it should be mentioned that this research shows that the Pilot Wave interpretation of Quantum Mechanics can no longer be criticized for requiring instantaneous interaction of the pilot wave, thereby violating Relativity. It should also be noted that nearfield electromagnetic fields can be explained by quantum mechanics using the Pilot Wave interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP), where Δx and Δp are interpreted as averages, and not the uncertainty in the values as in other interpretations of quantum mechanics. So in HUP: Δx Δp = h, where Δp=mΔv, and m is an effective mass due to momentum, thus HUP becomes: Δx Δv = h/m. In the nearfield where the field is created, Δx=0, therefore Δv=infinity. In the farfield, HUP: Δx Δp = h, where p = h/λ. HUP then becomes: Δx h/λ = h, or Δx=λ. Also in the farfield HUP becomes: λmΔv=h, thus Δv=h/(mλ). Since p=h/λ, then Δv=p/m. Also since p=mc, then Δv=c. So in summary, in the nearfield Δv=infinity, and in the farfield Δv=c, where Δv is the average velocity of the photon according to Pilot Wave theory. Consequently the Pilot wave interpretation should become the preferred interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It should also be noted that this argument can be applied to all fields, including the graviton. Hence all fields should exhibit instantaneous nearfield and speed c farfield behavior, and this can explain the non-local effects observed in quantum entangled particles.

What is the speed of GRAVITATIONAL FIELD???
You said @7:50 +/ a few that Einstein showed that the speed of light never changes. That is not correct. The constancy of the speed of light is his 2nd postulate of Einstein's special theory of relativity.
"We can scarcely avoid the inference that light consists of the transverse modulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.", JCM, from "Theoretical Concepts in Physics" by Malcolm Longair.
Idk why Im kinda resonating with the story
👍👏
Maxwell contribution are great big respect his work on electromagnetism and the 4 set of equations for the electric field and magnetic field
Make vid on Micheal faraday
