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...
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!
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.

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.
"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.
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...
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
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)
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.
@@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.
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 :)
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.
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!
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.
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!

Thank you for telling the entire truth in your biography's videos. Maxwell (as well as the great majority of the 300 greatest geniuses of mankind) believed in God. And you just say it clearly, I appreciate that. As a university professor myself, I am tired of finding people who want to hide the relation between the greatest minds and their faith in God. No problem with atheism, no problem with faith, but, as scholars, we are trained to teach the truth, not to hide it. And we train our students to do so as well. Thank you for your great job!

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. *UA-cam presentation of above arguments: ua-cam.com/video/sePdJ7vSQvQ/v-deo.html *More extensive paper for the above arguments: William D.

Light is the bursting of darkness torn under vibration ( the same speed of light is impossible even instep laser because at different space density and from source to distance change frequency so change speed )
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...
In the realm of science, where brilliance shines bright, Lies a tale of inspiration, in the depths of the night. Newsthink uncovers the story untold, Of the scientist who inspired Einstein, bold. In the halls of academia, where ideas collide, Lived a mind so sharp, with knowledge as its guide. The scientist's name, now lost to time's sway, But their legacy lives on, to this day. For it was this unknown mind, so wise and keen, Who sparked the flame in young Einstein's dream. With theories profound and insights deep, They inspired the thoughts Einstein would keep. Newsthink reveals the secrets concealed, Of the scientist whose influence was sealed. In the annals of history, their name may fade, But their impact on Einstein, forever made. So let us honor the scientist unknown, Whose brilliance illuminated minds, not alone. For in the journey of discovery, they played a part, Inspiring Einstein's scientific art.
Einstein once said... "The year of Galileo's death and Newton's Birth was same; Newton took forward Galileo's legacy... The year of Maxwell's death and my Birth was also same; As the destiny has it, rest is history..."
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.

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.

Thanks
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.
Micheal Faraday was the first person to hypothesize EM waves.
Albert Einstein didn't have any IQ
IQ means saved data in computer.
This is awesome, such an inspiration.
Now it is time for me be the Einstein of neuroscience. Amin. Amin . Amin.
He is so understand 😢
Engrish moment
Your videos are just the best.
Light is the bursting of darkness torn under vibration ( the same speed of light is impossible even instep laser because at different space density and from source to distance change frequency so change speed )
I'd say preceded would be the right word.
There's been some great British scientists. Newton, Faraday, Green, Clerk Maxwell, Heaviside, Rutherford, Dirac...
Light began as the stir of universal imagination began love and inspirational colorful life
Happy Birthday!
Really love your videos!!!!❤❤❤❤
I've always thought it was Minkovvski...
which song is this?
What is the speed of GRAVITATIONAL FIELD???
Very touching video😮
Thanks!
Thank you so much Michael!
Look into Bergson
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...
great content as always!
What a curve ball, I thought this was going to be about Ernst Mach
I'll never forget Maxwell's equations from when I studied Physical Chemistry in college.
Any man who can inspire Einstein is awesome!
He is one of the greatest minds in human history❤❤
No he wasn’t ❤️❤️
Material science is in light , glsss , and temperature add water or air
Hello mam love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😍
In the realm of science, where brilliance shines bright,
Lies a tale of inspiration, in the depths of the night.
Newsthink uncovers the story untold,
Of the scientist who inspired Einstein, bold.
In the halls of academia, where ideas collide,
Lived a mind so sharp, with knowledge as its guide.
The scientist's name, now lost to time's sway,
But their legacy lives on, to this day.
For it was this unknown mind, so wise and keen,
Who sparked the flame in young Einstein's dream.
With theories profound and insights deep,
They inspired the thoughts Einstein would keep.
Newsthink reveals the secrets concealed,
Of the scientist whose influence was sealed.
In the annals of history, their name may fade,
But their impact on Einstein, forever made.
So let us honor the scientist unknown,
Whose brilliance illuminated minds, not alone.
For in the journey of discovery, they played a part,
Inspiring Einstein's scientific art.
What a life
Einstein once said...
"The year of Galileo's death and Newton's Birth was same; Newton took forward Galileo's legacy...
The year of Maxwell's death and my Birth was also same; As the destiny has it, rest is history..."
From Galileo to Boltzmann (2015)
Idk why Im kinda resonating with the story
Such an amazing channel but youtube says that I can't turn on notifications for this channel because it's content made for kids?!?! Must be a bug.
That's strange. Have you tried on your mobile?
@@Newsthink It didn't matter if it was mobile or not. Unsubscribing and re-subscribing fixed it.
Newton
Maxwell
Einstein …
In that order!
Deserved the Copley Medal
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.
Maxwell helped create radio, television, computers. Inspiring Einstein was a small byproduct of his work.
