James Clerk Maxwell - A Sense of Wonder - Documentary

[@jennypeacock2744]

James Maxwell, one of the greatest physicist of all time, set possibly the most well known scientist (Albert Einstein) up in his work and is the base of his success. Though if you ask the general public as they have done at the start of the film, and you say, 'Who is James Clerk Maxwell?' If they are not consumed in the amazing subject of Science I guarantee they will reply 'Who?'. Anyway thanks to the 2% that read this and have a great day or night.

[@AbdullahPunctureWale-BePgCxx]

Einstein is reason we don't truly appreciate science... Einstein is a fraud.

[@portagepete1]

One person looks at this video every 20 minutes for the last 7.5 years that's extra well deserved recognition Thank you for the video.

[@varun9346]

One scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell - Albert Einstein

[@JorgeRzezak]

Einstein was reading the best few books of physics of that time and certainly James Maxell his base of his genius. Maxwell did not know and could not break down the Ether barrier which Einstein could. Two different genius and mile stones of our history.

[@Rayquesto]

From a structural engineering perspective, Maxwell is my favorite innovator and physicist. His work involved in indeterminate structures and graphical methods to structures is probably the most overlooked thing.

[@vkvkvkvkkv]

Thanks for writing.

[@alanlockhart3543]

Maxwell created our modern world , without him we would have virtually nothing you can see and touch right now in front of your eyes.

[@brassj67]

I am shocked that a lot of people in Scotland haven't heard of Maxwell. His laws were a revelation and his work had a profound influence on Einstein. Many of the discoveries that Michael Faraday made he couldn't explain and turned to Maxwell to come up with a theory that explained electro-magnetism. He explained how electro-magnetic waves propagated through the ether. Good documentary!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

[@berniv7375]

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

[@myriaddsystems]

I’m not a Scot - not directly anyway, but I am very proud for Scots- to be proud (if you get that) of the monumental achievements of one such as James Clerk Maxwell and the deep and generous friendship that he showed to Michael Faraday…

[@mthobisoronald8177]

I love the fact that Maxwell was a Christian and a church elder himself

[@SC-bg8wf]

The guy on the street usually knows nothing of Maxwell, but everyone involved in physics knows of his amazing work.

[@rsr789]

Correct. Even Einstein always had to tell the lay person that he stood not on the shoulders of Newton, but on the shoulders of Maxwell.

[@johnnybravo19871]

Although general public does not know about Maxwell among the scientists as well as many branches of engineering the dude is quite well known and is considered a legend. Similar ones that are forgotten by the general population are Euler and Gauss - two legends of maths (and bit of physics).

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

I learned about Maxwell, and his four equations in words, when I got my electric train set when I was twelve. But then an electric train set had rails to connect together and a transformer to get the voltage of the electricity right, so I had a huge advantage over today's kids who just get toys with motors hidden away with batteries.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Yes, anyone who is into mathematics knows thet Euler and Gauss are giants in the field, but how many people are into mathematics?

[@topdog5252]

Yes! Those guys are utter legends to be revered. Rightly so.

[@robertbrown3413]

What they didn't say was Maxwell's electromagnetic theory wasn't widely accepted during his lifetime. He never lived to see his work fully proven experimentally. Such is often the case with such people that by their greatness are ahead of their time.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Maxwell was only 48 when he died. His treatise on electricity and magnetism was published six years before his death, although his work on the subject had been done a decade earlier. Hertz discovered radio waves seven years after Maxwell’s death. The tragedy is just that he died so young (48).

[@saulorocha3755]

Excellent short documentary on Maxwell. Something very rare.

[@heikotimmers7390]

A wonderful acknowledgement of Maxwell's achievements in their Scottish setting that brings out the intellectual broadness of mind and the delicate senses required in order to step beyond the known.

[@Ramsey_H]

I'm at a time when you are so much for a long way in hell of an eye on the other day and I have to be able too often for me

[@brassj67]

Another great British scientist that most people haven't heard of is Paul Dirac. He was a revolutionary and his equations led to the discovery of anti-mattter which has led to practical technology like the PET scanner which detects Positrons, the anti-matter equivalent of electrons

[@rsr789]

Which is ironic, since his Nobel Prize was shared with Schrödinger, who is far more known (if only for his 'cat' thought experiment) today to the lay person.

[@giuseppevianello9288]

[@SHAIK_FHAREEDH]

@@maxwellsequation4887 ofcourse GTOR is OP. But Maxwell's equation is beautiful wonder of science.

[@raymond3021]

Nobody could understand him, so they concentrated on just a few pages of his research to create the world we live in today. Imagine how advanced the world would be if he was fully understood. What a legend.

[@jonathanland2218]

Einstein had a picture of one man on the wall of his office - it was James Clerk Maxwell.

[@nikotsiopinis9909]

Another feature of Maxwell's intellect is the lucidity of his thought which one can immediately see present in his writings. I guess this may be one of the defining characteristic of a genius. The rhyming found in his writings are more pronounced in his teaching material which he prepared for his students. It was a unique way he used to facilitate learning by using the technique of rhyming. It is known he had noticed that his students had difficulty grasping the notions of physics. Oftentimes he was exasperated, so I believe, rhyming was his own unique way to facilitate his students' remember the material he taught. Today, this method would be considered within the purview of instructional modification of teaching material. I don't believe that Maxwell himself would have said, if he had been asked that what he was writing at those times was poetry!

[@brianbanfield5397]

From watching this excellent video it would appear to me that the work of James Clerk Maxwell was a vital stepping stone leading to the development of the mobile phone. Everybody in the world has one of these; yet so few have ever heard of James Clerk Maxwell.

[@foch3]

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

[@johnpeate4544]

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

[@strictlyunreal]

Why do I search for Maxwell on KZbin and get some singer before James Clerk Maxwell?

[@frankfranksen996]

right, I was facing the same issue. Lead to one of many "I lost all hope for humanity moments"

[@joeyhinds6216]

Maybe because there is more singers named Maxwell than physicists named Maxwell? That and most people sadly don't remember the man behind the equations...

[@xylfox]

I found "Maxwells silverhammer" first :-)

[@DavidGorenPrivate]

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

[@sandyago4735]

Umm. So you don't like Clerk Maxwell at all, do you, Dr.😅?

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

Even someone with a passing interest in science must have heard of the famous Maxwell. That's the problem, people don't even have even the slightest interest in science.

[@yousify]

+William Fenton The problem is when you google about only 'Maxwell' you will find a singer and footballer whom has the same name instead of greatest physicist James Maxwell. Anyway, it is strange that Einstein is enough to be found by google.

[@milton3204]

[@MopedOfJustice]

Rodney, it depends if you have the traditional view (Edison's a wizard), the hipster view (It was all Tesla) or the hipster hipster view (Tesla was actually an idiot most of the time). Tesla is pretty much solely responsible for AC being a thing, so his importance to anything after him that is related to electrical engineering cannot be understated.

[@Pilot_engineer_19]

Why is there no mention of the fact that Maxwell formulated the work of Faraday? Faraday was an experimental scientist and it is his work that Maxwell formalized. One would think Faraday would be at least mentioned.

[@silaslovespeace7398]

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

[@BangMaster96]

James Maxwell was definitely a genius, but people need to know is that Maxwell himself never wrote the famous Maxwell equations. Maxwell did most of the technical work, but it was Oliver Heaviside who simplified all the complicated mathematics, and derived the 4 equations that are known today as Maxwell's equations.

[@michaelmcgrath3090]

Yes. Intallly Maxwell had approx 17 equations. Heaviside simplified them down to their present for. Heaviside was a genius and has not been given due credit for what he achieved. Don't think he went to university and was largely self taught.

[@sirdiealot53]

Thank you for the documentary. We need more people to appreciate science like this.

[@kungfumaster8171]

It's amazing so many people never herd of Maxwell or his equations but given the state of average human intelligence, I'm not surprised. In my opinion, not to understand on a basic level what these great men and women did for human knowledge and its significance is sad. Yet 99% of the human population can easily identify dozen pop stars, but can't name a handful of people that made their modern lives possible. I'm grateful for my engineering education.

It is shocking and a sign of our cultural decadence that Maxwell is not well known. The same applies about the rudiments of quantum mechanics. We learn about the periodic table in high school and yet no one seems to tell the kids why the world is so bizarre at the microscopic level...... Maxwell's equation was a stroke of genius at a time when pure mathematics was somewhat weak in the English speaking world. Henri Poincaré, the French mathematician who was also a popularizer of science, wrote a about the brilliance of the mathematical physicist who was Maxwell.

[@dalsenov]

He learned the work of Faraday Which made the .....of weather Magnetic and electric waves Must fly through space together And figured since they fly along At light speed if you let them The light we see is part of the Electromagnetic spectrum. As a foreigner I don't understand the missing word.Can someone tell me which is it,please?

[@dalsenov]

Thank you very much ,Charlie. I'm a big admirer of Maxwell as well of other great scientists. Very nice poem.One doesn't find very often poetry concerning science or scientists. I like doing various lists in excel tables such as : world's states,scientists,discoveries,etc .Of course one of the lists is the electromagnetic spectrum ,with all EM radiation classified gradually (as a function of frequency or wave lenght).There of course I can see easily that "the light we see is part of the electromagnetic spectrum", meaningly the "visible" domain.

I listened very hard and got most of it but still have one line that I just more or less guessed from the context and accent. Here's what I heard: When Jimmy Maxwell was a lad He vexed his parents sairly (???), Into this and into that With questions late and early Birds and bees or clockwork toys Always the same old question: Would anybody tell me please What’s the goal of that, then? What's the goal of that? What’s the goal of that? What does it do? How does it work? What’s the goal of that? What’s the goal of that? What's the goal of that? What does it do? How does it work? What’s the goal of that?

[@islaginnelly1373]

When Jamie Maxwell wis a lad he vexed his faither sairly Intae this and intae that wi questions late and early Birds and beasts and clockwork toys all raised the same old question, “Faither can ye tell me please, whit’s the go o’ that, then?” Whit’s the go o’ that, whit’s the go o’ that, What does it do, how does it work, Whit’s the go o’ that? His faither sent him tae the school where all the wealthy lads went They ca’ed him daft and for a laugh they made fun o his accent but pretty soon they gi’ed it up, their teasing was in vain Cos Jamie he was happy wi his monumental brain Askin’ “Whit’s the go o’ that...” His childish curiosity was merely a rehearsal And as he grew he turned his mind tae matters universal He used his maths tae match his facts tae underlying patterns And just for fun described the nature o the rings o Saturn He learned the work o’ Faraday which made him wonder whether Magnetic and electric waves must fly through space the-gether And figured, since they fly along at licht-speed if you let them That licht we see is part of the ‘lectromagnetic spectrum Break: Electromagnetic spectrum (Repeat) Radio waves, microwaves, infra-red and visible light ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma-rays radiate through day and night So children, if your parents say ‘Don’t fash me wi your questions’ Remember Jamie Maxwell’s electromagnetic spectrum To figure out the universe we need a place to start and you could do much worse than asking “Whit’s the go o’ that?” Here you go! I was one of the kids singing it 😂 helped me pass my Nat5 physics years later

[@techteampxla2950]

[@sirmaxwell646]

Brilliant! Just a little side note. James was actually a Clerk, his fathers Johns surname, however his father took the name Maxwell as the Clerks had inherited the land or shall we say married into it when Johns Grandfather George Clerk married his first cousin Dorothea Clerk who's Father was William Clerk and who's mother Agnes, Heiress of MIDDLBIE was a Maxwell, a very Noble name in Dumfries, and who's Father John Maxwell of MIDDLBIE who was also a descendant of the Famous Douglasses and Stewart kings and all 3 surnames married each other. So although James was not really a Maxwell, he did have Maxwell blood.

Great job. Maxwell is definitely one of the greatest physics of all times.

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.

wasn't it faraday's idea, and maxwell helped him prove it using math?

[@zesowl]

Faraday knew how the two were behaving by simply observing but didn't know how or why the two were behaving the way they were behaving till maxwell. Maxwell didn't wrote the four equations called "maxwells equations" they were written by coulomb, ampere but it took maxwell to realize what the interconnection between those equations were. So don't think he just solve some math equations, he literally gave those equations light.

[@ZiziAil]

+zesowl aahhh I see thanks

[@thenextshenanigantownandth4393]

@@zesowl Literally makes no sense. Faraday knew exactly how they were behaving and why they were doing it, but didn't know how to express it in mathematical form. So his theories were unprovable without the mathematics. Faraday didn't just take a shot in the dark guess and need maxwell to explain it. He knew exactly what was going on and explained it beautifully in his lectures and notes. So no maxwell didn't come up with some unifying theory or explanations on why they were doing what they were doing. He just copied it from Faraday. And he didn't even come up with the equations himself. So maxwell is incredibly lucky to have befriended a true genius like Faraday, and even luckier that unfortunately Faraday had no real education. So maxwells big claim to fame is being an opportunist. Not a scientist.

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").

IN 1970 when I was studying electronics at night school in Coatbridge I learned Maxwell's right had rule for generators. That was all we knew about Maxwell. It was the same regarding madnetic strength. The unit of magnetic strength had -- recently -- become the 'Tesla.' Without the first we had no unified understanding of electromagnetic phenomenon. Without the second we would not have A C current and the entire modern world+++ -- including scalar waves -- which are now being used to shoot down Alien craft that get closer to earth than 250 miles without permission (by the military; American and Russian). And 'scientists' are beginning to learn about them. Amazing how 'science' progresses in waves of petulent jealous denial of the truly great, isn't it.
