Maxwell, a man who has created a revolution in physics


James Clerk Maxwell is a well-known physician and mathematician. He was born in Scotland in 1831 and he was dead in 1879.
His biggest accomplishment the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.
Maxwell had collected all the mathematical equations from his predecessors that describes any electric or magnetic phenomena and has extracted the equations shown below.
First, any electric or magnetic phenomenon can be resolved or described by these equation and you don't need to waste your time and to look for other equations.
Second, electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin, the existence of one of them is a cause of the other and vice versa and this was a big achievement as these two phenomenons were separated.
Third, it was theoretically (then experimentally after his death) demonstrated that light itself is nothing else than electromagnetic waves and that has opened many horizons for research in the field of "photonic" studies which was a principal key to the invention of radio and other realizations.
That mean finally that this man has made a big service for humanity by formulating the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.
In the following picture are cited the four equations named "Maxwell equations" :

On the google research results you will discover that this scientist is on the third place preceded by a singer and a footballer which is not fair to science and scientists that are the leaders of humanity and development.
