The father of physics
Uploading ....
Galileo was the "Father of physics", but Maxwell is the "Father of modern physics".
Maxwell:
1. Was the first to observe that the new (At the time) statistics being used by business and government, was necessary to model multi-body systems.
2. Postulated point source objects that could be assembled into more complex structures.
3. Developed "Dimensional Analysis" which is the basic framework that ALL physics models must conform to.
4. Conceived "Maxwell's Equations" that modeled all known electro-magnetic activity.
5. Conceived the means by which electro-magnetic waves travel through space (Displacement current).
6. Developed the links between the electro-magnetic properties and the mechanical properties (Permittivity and Permeability). and discovered the Permittivity and Permeability of a medium determines the speed of electro-magnetic waves in the medium.
7. Developed "Maxwell Statistics" to model multi-body systems. ( Later Bose slightly modified Maxwell's statistics in order to model the statistics of integer spin objects, and Fermi slightly modified Maxwell's statistics in order to model the statistics of half-integer spin objects.)
And of course, DeBroglie was the father of Quantum Mechanics and Bohr was its' nurse maid.
