James Clerk Maxwell’s "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism" (1873) ✍️
• Unified Electric and Magnetic Forces: Maxwell's Treatise introduced the famous Maxwell’s Equations, uniting electricity and magnetism into a single theory of electromagnetism. It set the stage for the development of both classical and quantum field theory.
• The Birth of the Speed of Light: Maxwell’s equations predicted that electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, suggesting that light is an electromagnetic wave. This was the first hint that electricity, magnetism, and light were deeply related.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."
