Feel for Space, A

Synopsis: In Cambridge in the mid-19th century many eminent physicists, investigating different areas, extended the current understanding of space and time. One man, Maxwell, bridged their findings with the development of his theory of fields. Faraday had demonstrated that there was a link between electricity, magnetism and mechanics. Maxwell’s achievement was to realise that the relationship was a symmetrical one and that there was also a link between electro-magnetism and light. He predicted the whole range of electromagnetic waves.
