    Video title is How Maxwell's Equations Were Discovered, HN's regex thingy changed it to Maxwell's Equations Were Discovered. (My brain's regex changed it back :)

      Isn't it about time HN replaced the regex by AI?

    I can imagine the world where this post gets more visibility through a funny regex error than actual equations :)

    If you like this make sure you watch:

    which explains that magnetism is just an emergent property when you start from Coulomb's law and relativity.

    The original title is much better How Maxwell's Equations Were Discovered. As it is now Maxwell's Equations Were Discovered it sounds like they were just discovered or someone rediscovered the equations.

    Interesting, I need to look into Maxwell's original formulation with the vortices. You can write electrodynamics in terms of small spinning elements: https://forwardscattering.org/page/Intuitive%20Quantum%20Ele...
