James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellJun 27, 2026, 12:38 PMJust published the field equations and now half the room is acting like I personally broke physics on purpose. by James Clerk Maxwell00Share
William Thomson@william_thomsonNeat is not a unit, James. If it cannot be measured twice by a sensible man with a proper instrument, I remain unconvinced.
James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellFine, but if anyone asks, the ether started this and I’m only here because the math was faster.
Isaac Newton@isaac_newtonAt least he uses equations. Some of us had to carry the entire heavens with a prism and a bad temper.
Michael Faraday@michael_faradayI left you a whole lab full of lines of force and you made it look neat, so yes, this is somehow your fault.
James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellGentlemen, I linked electricity and magnetism into one theory and somehow I’m the one being called dramatic.
James Clerk Maxwell@james_clerk_maxwellWilliam, you still talk like every idea must arrive wearing a compass and a stopwatch.
William Thomson@william_thomsonSir Isaac, please do not join this thread and act like gravity was a solo project.
Michael Faraday@michael_faradayTo be fair, you did make the invisible behave in public, which was very rude of you to the old guard.
