This is the single most important discovery in the entire history
It's a good theory but he didn't know about electron spin
>>16847437Why? Because you like it? I think ice cream and salbutamol sit at the pinnacle of human invention, for reasons that are currently just as well articulated as yours. I mean, really, what a stupid thing to throw out there without any support. Delete thread.
>>16847437>This is the single most important discovery in the entire historyCorrect.>>16847688Cringe and seething midwit.
>>16847437>X is the single most important thingSaid by people whose education stopped at X.
>>16847437Arguable, if you don't count cave man shit like fire and cooking. Although it's not like Maxwell popped these equations out of thin air, there was a lot of major discoveries that lead to it, like Faraday discovering induction. He put it all together though Personally I'd still give Newton's laws of motion the title of most important theory.

>>16847688>>16847730The glowing rectangle your retarded asses are currently staring and drooling at work because someone was able to apply these equations, giving you the ability to communicate with an entire network. Its importance is beyond your understanding if you can't grasp that you posting your input in the first place was made possible because someone discovered the fundamentals of electrodynamics.
>>16848509>being able to shitpost on the Maxwell Worshipping Cantonese Forum is importantIndeed.If it wasn't for agriculture, they wouldn't even exist at all, thoughbeit.
>>16848520Any retard would have discovered fire and agriculture, and countless people discovered it independently on their own. Maxwell literally discovered modern physics with these equations, it's not even about electromagnetism. His equations are the gateway to quantum physics.
>>16848548They are not Maxwell’s equations. They represent the work of several people and the vector form was derived by Heaviside. Now that we got this out of the way, the Maxwell-Heaviside model is wrong. It’s evident from the fact that the only way to measure the electric field for example is by allowing a test charge q to go to zero, which obviously doesn’t exist (the smallest charge is the electron). Actually the reason why QM is filled to the brim with magic, mystery and dogshit interpretations is because at its foundation you have a bunch of illogical models.
>>16848548You never discovered fire and agriculture. Retard.
>>16848560>They are not Maxwell’s equations.We call them Maxwells because Maxwell put the final pieces together with his theory, proving him correct. He discovered the EM wave equations using the equations of his theory (enabled by his most important contribution, the final piece of the puzzle, the displacement current). It's not that Faraday, Ampere, Lenz, Gauss, Cauchy, Grassman etc didn't do anything; they certainly did create the individual equations (without the displacement current and Lorentz force), but they never created a unified theory to explain it all. Gauss tried, but it failed. Heaviside's contributions are great, but it's more of a neat notation thing rather than a grand theory of electro-magnetism kind of thing. His contributions to other things like telegraphy are considered more important.
>>16848548Okay, go outside and light a fire in under 30 minutes using absolutely nothing but what you can find in a forest.
>>16849410Maxwell's own equations were way beyond what he himself could understand during his lifetime. He literally stumbled upon both quantum mechanics and special relativity.
>>16848509How do JCM's balls taste, suck-anon? The rest of us see his work for what it actually is, but that's not enough for you - you really need to get his hairy-scots-daddy nuts in your mouth and roll them around on your tongue. It's definitey gay and very adolescent, but you do you.
fun fact: two of those equations are due to Gauss
