not that good

I do biochemistry but inspired by physicists 😊

yikes what a log this is. hijacking maxwell's corpse to push your lame art theories on people

They had one on the ceiling of the Museum of Natural History in NYC. I remember it still worked when I was a child but it’s been off for decades and they don’t even point it out any longer. I wish they would fix it.

Just think, JCW did all this in an age of...no internet...no computers...no TV...zilch if you compare his time with today. Just 100% pure critical thought. These Brain Gods don't appear very often.

So all they could do is just mention his faith, but no one was interviewed who could tell us the effect it had on his life and its influence on his work. Truly a testament to our time rather than his...and not a good one.

Masterpiece.

There's been some great British scientists. Newton, Faraday, Green, Clerk Maxwell, Heaviside, Rutherford, Dirac...

James Clerk Maxwell was a GREAT MAN; however electromagnetism was Michael Faraday’s theory but Faraday couldn’t do the math. Nobody believed Faraday except Maxwell and he did the math to prove it!

@ 6:15, the level of intimacy demonstrated in this connection is appropriate for a more mature audience.

U r inspiring. Great🙏🏻

All of this an no emphasis on Oliver Heaviside. If anyone commenting is claiming to like or be a fan of Maxwell and his work and you are clueless of Oliver Heaviside then you are an absolute casual. Know your science history!

Beautiful short documentary.

Fantastic. Just got mine out of the basement after 22 years. Was built in 1969 I got it for Christmas in 1986. Not been used since 1994. Just put in for a service. Everybody in the shop wanted to buy it!

Blud was such a huge nerd that he wrote physics problems in poem form

❤for Maxwell any color can be represented in a harp of three strings red green blue .

Clerk, not Clark!

Intellectual rap, in fact!

Lots of love to song musician teacher

Maxwell's theory of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave changed western society (and later on the whole world) for ever. Can you imagine if Tesla's longitudinal electromagnetic wave in vacuum will be discovered as well, how that could change society yet again. Maxwell was on the right track to doubt Grassmann's force law for magneto statics; he preferred Ampère's original force law of magneto statics. James Clerk Maxwell died prematurely before he could derive his own force law based on electromagnetic fields that should have followed from his analysis. Edmund Taylor Whittaker continued Maxwell's analysis and published on an extended force law based on electromagnetic fields (in differential form: f = rho E + JxB + JB*, where B* = -div A is a scalar magnetic field). Taking into account the recent experiments that proved the Coulomb force propagation speed is many times higher than the speed of the TEM wave, one can complete Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism such that it includes longitudinal Ampère forces and longitudinal electro (scalar)magnetic waves, vacuum waves that were premeditated by Nikola Tesla. I published on a generalized theory of electromagnetism in 2016 that completes Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. The world will be a different place, I see a bright future for mankind in a new type of light.

What is univers without galaxies,what is galaxies without planets, what is sun without sunlight, what is space without time, what is night without day, what is present without now, what is knowledge without knowing and without death what is life and without LORD GOD , WHO R WE? We r the special creation of LORD GOD , we r loved, important, unique and have light, we are all matter.

As a Scot I am glad to see James Clerk Maxwell getting the recognition that he deserves. Thank you for the video.🌱

In india Maxwell is well known in engineering community

If anyone wants to know from me, select three world's best scientists. I must 1/ James Clarke Maxwell 2/ Nikolaos Tesla 3/ Sir Isaac Newton I will select these three people. These three have opened many paths in the development of our human civilization, modernity and science. Many scientists have found success in their theory and demonstration. So I will call them the heroes of the victory of science.

Maxwell mathematically confirmed Faraday’s theory. All great men stand on the shoulders of other great men before them.

Maxwell was amazing also a creationist ..a man of real faith ..wish he was alive today to smash Dawkins .

Ordinary people know way more about soccer players and musical groups than anything important so don’t feel bad or surprised.

I changed my last name to Maxwell because (1) it is a balanced name combination and (2) in honor of JCM. True story. 29 years after I changed my name, I came up with a new theory of physics. You can learn more about it on my YT channel. The point, however, is that mine is an ether theory and no other theory on Earth comes closer to it than JCM's model (that he unfortunately later discarded, as he was not one to "speculate").

Interesting documentary. It is strange that Maxwell is relatively unknown, given what a giant he was. At around 25:00, the guitarist is talking about how Maxwell used a dialect that would have sounded strange to his Edinburgh classmates. I wonder, and this is pure speculation, if he appeared to be an outsider his whole life. Although his family did have money, did he seem like some kind of hick in the posh precincts of Cambridge or King's College? Or was there something about him that people disliked? Sometimes seemingly secondary issues of these sorts can have an outsize influence on a person's reputation during life, and afterwards, too.

Memories of riding from provanhall standing outside rattreys shop dreaming of a flying scot ,such beautiful bicycles handcrafted art the stuff of our dreams, the Glasgow Ferrari thank you for the memories Robert " a wee boy from Glasgow "

cometh the hour, cometh the man

This guy blew me away! I've thought about him many times since learning of him. Thank you Scottish people.

Great job. Maxwell is definitely one of the greatest physics of all times. By the way, the last equation written on the white board that shows up in the minute 9:20 (I. e. the divergence of E=0) is not correct as the divergence of E (electric field) = the electric charge density divided by the permittivity of free space).

James Clerk Maxwell is one of the few GOD'S Greatest Mathematical Scientists of All Time, together with Isaac Newton, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Leonard Euler, GF Bernhard Riemann, etc. Unknown to many, including biographers, scientists and so on, James Clerk Maxwell "got the spark of both hindsight and insight of harmony & unity of natural operating laws of natural phenomena via "mathematical integrating field vector force unification" from the context of core mathematical laws & mathematical equations manifesting natural links of subtle operating vector systems of "force mechanism" inherent in natural vector unification in the mathematical natural phenomena from Isaac Newton's works. Mathematically, this "hindsight & insight" only 'seen' alone by James Clerk Maxwell which originally guides him to extract the hint of natural symmetry patterns of mathematical force field loop unification from the subtle beauty & truth of consistent vector matrix continuity mathematical framework of nature's fundamental constants embraced inherently by 4(pi) which leads him [as mathematically "seen" by James Clerk Maxwell alone & no one else, just like Isaac Newton ahead in his time to have "seen" the mathematical integration unity of existing nature's facts & numerical data index of operating principles of natural phenomena - which Newton "feels & believes" it all has mathematical symmetry connectivity between the local force (Earth Force) and the Force out there in the Solar System Family (Universal Force System!) as a "one unified force mechanism of the Universal Gravitational Force System", resulting into Newton's greatest single scientific work of all time that pioneers the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment & this is his: Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687] and to Maxwell in his time, it took him at least 4 years to produce the 1st thematic Principle of Mathematical GUT (Grand Unified Field Theory of Forces) in mathematically connecting the magnetic phenomena & electric phenomena via the "innovative mathematical field system of nature's force mechanism embracing light phenomena wave system of natural laws" to replace the "ether" concept only to leap up forward more than 6 light (leap) years to have mathematically configured his 20 original partial differential equations, with 20 variables, the whole mathematical treatise of equally greatest scientific GUT: that is, his "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865, and his succeeding "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism" in 1873; resulting to 4 Electro-Magnetic Field Equations in 1884, the mathematical work by & thanks to: the reconstructive HELP of the mathematical genius of Oliver Heaviside [with concurrently similar work by Josiah Willard Gibbs and Heinrich Hertz.] How come? No less than a greatest Applied Mathematical Scientist: Joseph Louis Lagrange admires & subtly believes in Isaac Newton as does so most profoundly Albert Einstein in reference to James Clerk Maxwell and GF Bernhard Riemann, insofar as the depth, significance, historical impact of [both: JCM & GF-BR]'s mathematical scientific works are concerned. Again, let me go back to James Clerk Maxwell's hidden Insight & Hindsight of mathematical unification connectivity vector of mathematical unification symmetry of natural laws of natural phenomena by Maxwell alone & only man to have "seen" it - that is, by the mathematical connectivity equations of "4(pi)" as the 'cue opening hint'; [pls refer to mathematical equations of 4(pi) in p.24: www.academia.edu/48938114/GOD_Nature_and_His_Mathematical_Laws_The_TOE_and_GUT_of_the_GBtZ_Solution_c_2021_Series_of_NBC_World_Edition ; and also in pp. 26, 27, 28, 29 to 35: all in reference to & about the mathematical vector connectivity unification values of series of equations with the subtle GTA&GTR of fine-tuned constants of natural phenomena known in Maxwell's time - all involving "4(pi)" and embracing all the scientific works of Gauss, Faraday, Coulomb, Ampere; and the rest! Yes, Dr. James Clerk Maxwell is one of my original Tutors in the Spirit World. Strange? But this is the TRUTH ... Thank you. Gpw Bernard Bautista Rementilla

Consider you have one antenna like yagi uda and you are usingbit for high directivity but suddenly you realize that instead of directivity in some space your requirement changebfor example you want high gain or power spectral density so antenna should be replaced by comparison of the given parameter with the refrence value which is dynamic value and you take instantaneous value use sample and hold circuit and you change antenna in space by another required parameter antenna so use Rishi nigam theorem Rishi Nigam india 🇮🇳 scientist for isro ,nasa,jaxa

09:18 But why doesn't he put an arrow over E and B 🥲🥲🥲 they are vectors

Please provide the lyrics to the kid's song if possible. Great!

I like Maxwell, but I'm still a bigger fan of Michael Faraday - the blue collar autodidact that set the stage for Maxwell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaLIl4CIdt2naM0

This video REALLY ought to have shown more of the restored, moving orrery in full. Honestly, filmmaking 101.

Maxwell's discovery was that he tied light with magnetism. I say light converts to electron positron pairs and back and forth. Photons, electrons and positrons are all versions of the same thing. The magnetic field connected to a light wave... would have to have both a positive and negative aspect. Magnetism is not a monopole. That would suggest magnetism is an electron positron magnetic field. That seems to tie in photon light with electron positron magnetism. The drawing shows a light or photon wave as red and the magnetic field in blue with electrons or e- , alternating with positrons or e+. Summary Here are the key components of all my physics posts. Photons are eternal and outside of time and distance. The singularity of photons began the Big Bang. Photons created electron positron pairs in the Big Bang. These electrons and positrons made the elementary particles which in turn made the atoms. Photons, electrons, and positrons, are all different versions of the same thing. Every electron is entangled with a positron. The force from the Big Bang singularity was dark energy or anti gravity.

He had curly divs! 😁

James Clerk Maxwell Influenced by : Sir Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday and Thomas Young Influenced : Virtually all subsequent Physics

14:40 " ... for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

The only thing we don't see in this lovely video is a good long look at the the thing bloody well working. So, at the end I am left waiting for what I am not gpong to get.

13:29 Che Guevera? Interesting.

So good

Maxwell's equations are fundamentally consistent WITH what is E=MC2, particle/wave duality, TIME, AND the second dimension in/of SPACE (ON BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. Great. c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. By Frank Martin DiMeglio

Another British loser and subject of the crown that we want to make exceptional. Inform you about this sucker who always wanted to stay in history thanks to his money. The future will show us that he cheated and that academic institutions helped him. Fake and money go together for a while, but not for a long time.

Maxwell had the rarest ability to see invisible things precisely as they are. This goes way beyond intellectual brilliance. When he described Saturn rings mathematically, they turned out to be EXACTLY what he predicted, as discovered only much later. When he described human vision mathematically, it was later found that the three detectors in the human eye for red, green, and purple colors were indeed physically there and worked exactly as he described them. The most magical of all was his mathematical description of electromagnetism, which was EXACTLY correct, every bit of it, as discovered much later. His claim that light is an electromagnetic wave is like shooting in complete darkness and hitting the center of an apple on a human head one mile away while knowing that. He was not just a genius; he was a prophet. He discovered things in exact detail from tiny, almost nonexistent hints. I cannot put him before Newton, but I do put him before Einstein, and I am sure that Einstein would have agreed with me on this. Maxwell's vision enabled all post-Newton physics. Dr. David Goren
