Sympathetic as a family physician, the British Admiralty promptly sent him on an official visit to the Mediterranean fleet, bade him find out what British sailors like in the way of movies...
...again because it was the only way to explain certain phenomena-for example, the diffraction rings produced when light passes through a small aperture. Before electro-magnetic waves (e.g., wireless waves) were ever demonstrated experimentally, Maxwell distilled them out of his mathematical equations, then showed that their velocity was equal to the velocity of light. Therefore, light appeared to be an electro-magnetic wave. This was one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. Physicists speak of Maxwell's equations as if they were a beautiful painting hung in a museum...
