J. C. Maxwell, 1831 - 1879

This artistic rendering depicts just one of Maxwell's MANY great contributions to science. Through supreme ingenuity and mathematics, Maxwell discovered that light itself consists of coupled electric and magnetic waves. Stunning achievement! Born in the year of Maxwell's untimely death, Albert Einstein added his own genius to Maxwell's to deduce the Theories of Special and General Relativity from the Maxwellian physics of light.
