MAXWELL was given faradays laws of electromagnatic induction to write them in the maths after he discovered them and discovered a generator, maxwell has nothing to do with those discoveries , today we can write them in our own maths and throw out the maxwell because he has nothing to do with it. he was just another rich kid looking for opportunity to be famouse on some one else works so he is finally out...

@@TheKimbit Your some what right and wrong. Mathematician themselves dealing with just math is not a scientist. But the field of Mathematics goes beyond knowing math. Its a understanding of all applied math. So when you go to school to be a mathmatician you are also using datasets like in statistics. just using a graphing calculator you can create your own algorithms cause your dealing with math over time when your using graphs. An example could be a team of scientist that study climate change over time. The team may require a mathematician to take in datasets and analyze climate change over time based on historical data to predict or determine the causes. In this case a mathematician is a scientist. He doesnt even have to know anything about climate change, all he is focused on is the record sets and variables to punch in to get a result dataset. These types of things require study. As long as you understand the subject at which your applying math to your a scientist. But that same mathimatician could also take his degree and be a professor or teacher in which he is not a scientist. Your field of study does not make you a scientist, your field of work does.

@@anthonygordon9483 you're saying if a math major decides to be a scientist, then they are a scientist. That's obvious. But a mathematician is never a scientist. Your definition of mathematician seems to be "anyone who uses math in their career" which is obviously not the case. A mathematician is a person whos primary goal is to study math, which objectively means, nothing to do with the sciences unless it is mathematical applications that MAY be used in sciences, which is still not science. Also, no mathematician studies datasets? Then you are doing data analysis or some applied math FIELD, but not mathematical work.. If you go and do scientific work, then you are not a mathematician anymore, unless you do mathematics study as a hobby Saying " the field of Mathematics goes beyond knowing math" is obviously not true, by definition. You seem to think anyone who uses math is a mathematician, which is certainly not the case, a mathematician is someone who studies math for the sake of knowing math. If you study math to do statistics, then you are studying statistics or data analysis.

Madam, you treated Michael Faraday with sympathy and respect. He was a humble man and at the same time a great man of science, and an inspiration to me. As an engineer, I probably know more math then he, but that does not diminish my admiration. He did what he did with what he had - dogged enthusiasm and a relentless heart. He forged ahead where others failed.

His approaches were ground breaking and with a few modificatins was applied to other areas of endevors --- the emphasis on observation and subsequent experiment. This according to my Freshman Chemistry Professor. ... And in his own way, for the times, a pretty good chemist too.

Did you really understand it, if you're satisfied with understanding that the inverse is also true?

Einstein famously said that if you can't explain a scientific phenomenon in a fairly simple and straight forward manner, then you don't really understand it. Mathematical expressions make a great icing on the cake that can show precise relationships between disparate things. But they are usually not the best starting place for developing a true understanding. When Einstein performed thought experiments he wasn't running equations through his head, but he was thinking deeply about the physical world we understand through our senses.

I understood from this video better what is electromagnetic induction 😅. Explained very simply that's what I want

Plain Mr. Faraday till the end. Much respect.

Thank you 😊

Newsthink, please make a movie of his life. It’s so inspring.

He did really well for someone with such disadvantages. Who knows what he would have discovered if he'd came from a wealthier background.

Have seen in a video/clip that his (Faraday's) Prototype-motor was just a mercury clump in a tiny ceramics Cup, dipped-in by a wire of Copper strand.!! An innovation goes far...

Canadian electrical engineer, Mark McCutcheon, has updated electricity and all of physics since 2002. “The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, for proper physics. Much progress since Faraday, Maxwell, Steinmetz, Heaviside, etc.

Fundamental nature of forces

Am obsessed with newsthink 😁. I get withdrawal syndrome if I don't watch a video at least a weak.

Michael Faraday is possibly the greatest scientific empericist of all time, and he was an amazingly devoted Christian, a Sandamainen which was basically a reformation movement of the Reformation. His later speculative theories after his head injury earned later scientist the Nobel Prize. In particular I am referring to the Ramen Effect observed in aerosols. Faraday's instruments were not good enough to observe the Ramen Effect, but he held to his theory. He also proposed a unification of forces theory that science is still pursuing today.

He was an excellent mathematician. Formal education matters nothing.

21st century America is where dreams often meet dead ends

At 1:20 minute, a book was mentioned. What is the name of that book? I love to read it.

It isn't necessary that Faraday was bad at math. His educational background on the subject was just lacking. The fact that he did all his discoveries DESPITE having no knowledge on advanced math showed how smart he truly was.

there is a world of difference between having an intuitive grasp of how something actually WORKS, versus being able to arrange squiggles from one side of an equals sign to the other. do you spend more time struggling with the concept, the physical processes, or do you struggle and waste time moving squiggles around on a page? my experience is we seem to get blinded by the task of moving squiggles. maths is only of any use if you understand how the squiggles relate to the physical process they are supposed to describe. but one can understand the physical process by simple observations. no squiggles required. some of the BEST "engineers" i know can barely write their own name. drop-outs. but they already knew how things worked. just had no reason to prove they can move squiggles around, preferred proving it by simply doing it. be amazed just how much of our modern world came about by so called "uneducated" or "self taught" people...

It was said that Einstein had three pictures of scientists in his study: Newton, Faraday, and Maxwell

Faraday is a true genius

about the time of his death the scientific community moved away from intuitive thinking into the modern day eloquence of mathematics and that's a shame. theoretical physics can be expressed in math formulas, but are rarely observed using the scientific method. lots of hocus pocus going on today 🙄

This is something I've also been thinking lately. I realized that we are not taught how to uniquely think about the things. Instead, we're more focused on learning the mathematical formulas (which is important) but completely ignoring the intuition and the scientific method in the process. I think we should focus more on the intuitive part and then derive the mathematics out of it instead of doing the reverse.

I think science got much more complex and vast since then. Therefore math became more crucial to formalize scientific ideas and to harness them as forms of engineering studies.

What I could never really understand is the connection between equations and reality.

Your video is amazing mam 👏👏👏👏👏😍❤️❣️

Faraday's concept of electric and magnetic fields was revoltionary. Developing a strong physical intuition of electromagnetic fields is still a demanding task. His collaboration with Maxwell was truly historic and still grossly under-appreciated for all of its consequences.

you can have all of this running in simulations in your head and you dont have to assign numbers to any of it. numbers are just a way to communicate things

As an engineer who sucks at math, I own two of Faraday's books; one of those printed in 1871. I've been dismissed my entire life, so I really associate with him.

this is inspiring intuition and powers of observation but lack of formal mathematical terminology for expression- can do both?- yes by doing it all yourself to strengthen the fundamentals if you have the time and willingness, And conveying it enough to be comprehensible by majority of modern scientific community I guess?

Here's a brilliant idea for brilliant... Allow purchaser's to pay monthly rather than trying to get them to choke up $162. At one time... Especially in today's horrifying financial climate...I was really interested until I saw.... You know... That. 😢

One of the greatest intuitive geniuses of all time.

I like this guy by the title alone… 😂

One of the greatest scientists of all time.

maybe Mr Faraday, god rest his soul, was more concerned about understanding WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, than understanding how to move squiggles from one side of an equals sign to the other. because an equation doesnt give you an intuitive grasp of ANYTHING, really.

He was from an era when even quantifying electricity was in it's infancy. Yes Faraday had some pioneering intuition behind electricity and he did amazing work with what he had, but without Maxwell's math we would be really struggling with a lot of the complex science that goes behind this. So advice to new young aspiring scientists: try to get better in math, there are many ways to approach math and you need it today: its not an impossible task.

Math it's overrated, but it's important and very simple, if applied correctly. Even without Maxwell, they would have discovered all the math behind electromagnetism. Unfortunately math has become a useless quiz race, and all this useless piss contest started even before 1700. Today we are still in the middle of this quiz race. If Faraday was born today, he wouldn't make it in the elitist scientific world.

@@myuncle2 hear hear! moving squiggles around a page means rather little if you have no idea what those squiggles mean, or how they relate to physical processes. and as for maxwell... i have this issue with faradays "lines of force"... something about magnetised particles and how they tend to line up end to end, making long strings, but also tend to lie side by side, and as they cant flip to achieve neutrality, they tend to repel from each other... so you get what appears to look like "lines of force" when you drop your iron filings over a magnet. thin strings or magnetised particles attached end to end but also repelling away from each other with a force at RIGHT ANGLES to the so called "line of force". are they actually lines of FORCE? are they stationary, a solid tangible thing? no. i can poke any string of filings and it moves freely. but the adjacent lines tend to move... that really does suggest to me that the force happens to be BETWEEN the lines? then i get into curl, and theres this thing i cant help but contemplate... newton. action and reaction. generally, to make something spin one way, there is an equal and opposite reaction the other way... why does whatever is "curling" not produce this corresponding reaction? wheres the TORQUE to produce the "curl" COMING FROM? i once was really good at re-arranging squiggles. then about halfway through a scholarship i started asking myself what those squiggles actually meant... they didnt seem to actually have anything to do with what was going on? when you start thinking like that you start to question the whole system based on those concepts... getting carried away with making squiggles based on an illusion... or at least, a misunderstanding. an assumption. of course, sometimes i do use squiggles still. flux density and cross sections of cores and permeability and amp-turns and ohms law amongst various things. but at no point have i had to deal with "curl" and its lack of torque or corresponding reactions. i was told to shut up and do the maths when i raised issues.

Whysoforever did the Big Bang happen? Because the frequency of energy digressed and distorted, and suddenly the existence of integrity cared EVERYTHING about the arrangement of EVERYWHERE, such that a sense of time called "feedback against resonance" became ALL important. Thus, by focus on the miniscule and intimate, ALL things became known as EVERYWHERE, that we may snuggle. Where have you heard this story ... BEFORE? Still "catching up"?

A simple insight of Einstein's advanced topic of MC^Sq, is it mocks the electric's power formula, VI^Sq, where one evaluated energy from mass for the power of movement support, and the other mass into energy. leaving it up to you to know which is which if I'm right!

Ok a hint tot the math problem. One is based on mass having energy to match the speed of light!

Faraday did not suck at math ... the thing is Maxwell was a math genius! When someone asked Einstein if, paraphrasing a famous phrase by Newton, "the giants whose shoulders he had climbed were those of Newton and Kepler" the famoust physicist replied "no ... I climbed Maxwell's shoulders". Robert Faraday was one of the most important physicist in human history but his results did not arise only from his imagination or uneducation but also from his hard work and the recognition of others like Maxwell. There's this story about his first trip to continental Europe alongside either Maxwell or Lord Kelvin and a dinner in which the wife of the upper class physicist made Faraday eat in the kitchen because he was a commoner. After the dinner was over, the husband politelly invided everybody to have coffee in the kitchen. That's a display of respect and admiration in the greatest form. Since I'm a humble member of the lower classes ... an egineer ... I'm proud to mention that the famous Maxwell Equations only look good in t-shirts because of ... guess what? ... a British electric engineer called Oliver Heavside who found a way to write the 26 original equations by Maxwell in a form that needed only three equations. When God heard about it he gave permission to use, royalty free, the phrase that often frames the three equations "And God said (1 2 3) and light was created".
