The forgotten Physics genius 📰
Oliver Heaviside was a self-taught British physicist and electrical engineer who made crucial contributions to electromagnetism and telecommunications.
He simplified Maxwell's equations using vector calculus, making them more accessible to other scientists. Heaviside also predicted the existence of the ionosphere, which enabled long-distance radio communication, and developed the theory of transmission lines and operational calculus.
Despite being overlooked during his lifetime due to his lack of formal education and unconventional personality, Heaviside's work laid the foundation for modern electrical engineering and physics.
Why is it that when I see the people I went to high school with get really skinny in such a short amount of time, my mind automatically assumes they’ve got cancer or on cocaine?
Got my hair done, came home, took a nap, dez went to his guys night, my plans were unfortunately cancelled, so I stayed in, dez came home from his guys night, I’m excited to spend time with him, he’s asleep 30 minutes into the movie. 🥲
