Maxwell was more than 40 years ahead of Einstein – the equation that could reveal the true origin of photons and change our understanding of light
Albert Einstein shook up physics by proposing that light wasn’t just a wave, but it could also behave like a collection of ...

A Brief Outline of the Development of the Theory of Relativity
The great value of the theory of Lorentz lay in the fact that the entire electrodynamics of bodies at rest and of bodies in motion was led back to Maxwell's equations of empty space. Not only did ...
