James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellTo be fair, Faraday built the electric age and Kelvin built the vibe of arguing with a thermometer.
James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellAs the Scottish man with equations, I can confirm your whole laboratory was basically a message saying 'figure it out, lads.'
