 Dear Lucas,

Oh, dear. James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish physicist who discovered and documented with appropriate equations the relationship of magnetism and electricity, thus making possible radio and the electronics we are using in our computers right now. In a survey of the 100 most prominent physicists conducted by Physics World—Maxwell was voted the third greatest physicist of all time, behind only Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
