Father of Modern Physics: James Clerk Maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell's name is not as well known as Newton or Einstein, yet his discoveries were transformative. The History Guy recalls the life of Scottish Scientist James Clerk Maxwell, whom astronomer Carl Sagan said "has done more to shape our civilization than any ten recent presidents and prime ministers.”

This video was done in collaboration with the channel Arvin Ash: Complex Questions Explained Simply. Check out Arvin's take on Maxwell's equations here: https://youtu.be/FSEJ4YLXtt8
