Einstein's light quanta through the lens of Maxwell's equations
Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves are generated under specific interactions. Light also bends around corners, ...

A Brief Outline of the Development of the Theory of Relativity
This theory originated as the answer to the question: Is the special principle of relativity really contradictory to the field equations of Maxwell for empty space? The answer to this question ...
