#OTD in 1879, J. C. Maxwell passed away.
Once Einstein said: "There would be no modern physics without Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations: I owe more to Maxwell than to anyone.”
In his office in Princeton there were 3 portraits: Newton, Faraday, #Maxwell.

Maxwell was amazing. Should have more recognition. Tesla Motors, Inc., was almost called Faraday, as it took until late 2004/2005 to buy the trademark from a guy who had had it since 1995.
