The Unification of Electricity and Magnetism (8 of 15)

Episode 8 of In Search of Giants: Dr Brian Cox takes us on a journey through the history of particle physics. In this episode we learn how Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell showed that electricity and magnetism are two facets of the same thing.

This film is part of a series originally broadcast on Teachers' TV (http://www.teachers.tv/video/23645).

I simply enjoy understanding our world better, in part due to videos like this. 

[esiosan]

Please this video is discussing science, not religion. There are many videos of debates on the subject here on youtube where you can talk about it.

Usually these debates on religion involve people like Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Peter Singer and the others. Please look them up and stop talking about things that are unrelated to the topic of this video.

Do u have subtitles in spanish?

I respect Faradays Works but I believe  that Father of electrical World is Nikola Tesla.

@Indrius yeah i actually im doing that , and im becoming to like math , i didnt like it before because i didnt understand it but now and end up thinking of solving more problems with equations

[Indrius]

@hovsec You need to use imagination to understand these equations and functions. If you manage to do this, math becomes a piece of cake. I imagine a graph when I try to comprehend a function and scales when I try to comprehend an equation. Most people hate math simply because they view it as a dull and boring pile of symbols and numbers that mean nothing and need to be memorized without understanding what they actually mean.

Electromagnetism is one of the most beautiful marvels of modern day physics.

Writing down the four laws is so amazing.

@TheSwamper

understand or more confused? :-)

LADIES AND GENTLMEN: Michael Faraday was a self-taught super-genius.

I dont understand if you're For or Against ... you say you dont believe in intelligent design but then you say atheists are jokes. It doesnt actually matter to my point which is that you could say the opposite of what you said and still say nothing:

"...why did HIGHLY non-religion people invent X"

"tell me how many non-atheists know that Lemaître etc etc"

pointless points are pointless

[TrevM]

There's just one thing I must know .... for most of my life i'd just read the name James Clerk Maxwell and I say the Clerk just like it is spelled. But more than a few times I've heard people pronounce the name James Clark Maxwell .... including this video by the sounds of it. Whats the deal, clerk is pronounced as clark because language has its quirks and that is that?

Oh yes! I was looking for a documentary on electricity and magnetism for my lessons, and it had to be THIS man.
