Last week Dr. Einstein derived the same old equation, E = MC², without using the Maxwell electromagnetic equations as he did originally. First he showed how four-dimensional Relativistic equations were derived from ordinary three-dimensional equations by means of a mathematical bridge called a Lorentz transformation. Then he applied...

Clothing electrical phenomena in mathematical language, Maxwell discovered electromagnetic waves by inventing them out of his own head. He then...
