Maxwell's Equations and the Speed of Light

[RayDunzl]

A nice ramble on electrical and magnetic forces, and how they relate to the speed of light.

Interesting video but they forgot talking about the silver hammer. ha ha.

Maxwell doesn't get the credit he deserves. Everyone knows Newton, Einstein. Ask them about Maxwell, and they think you are talking about the guy with the silver hammer from Abbey Road.

Take it Easy, It is a JOKE.

Good stuff. But how can I use this information to make obscenely priced speaker wire to sell to audiophiles?

But they do, first find a crack pot site that "proves" Maxwell was wrong or left out important stuff and quote it against Maxwell along with the features of your wire that solves the problem.

IIRC Bybees are supposedly super-luminal.

What is a Bybee? As in this clip?

I heard that Kentucky passed a law to set the speed of light to exactly 300,000

Electromagnetics I & II was no joke.

That isn't so bad. I use it most of the time myself for rough estimating. Less than .1% off from the true value. Not as bad as whichever state wanted to make pi 3.2 which is off quite a bit for many purposes.

Speak to Maxwell's Demon.

 

[Wes]

So, the bottom line here: Why is Space such a permissive parent?

 

[RickSanchez]

Speak to Maxwell's Demon.

Well played.

I thought that was 22/7, this is hilarious (comments disabled for good reason).

There was a proposal for 22/7 as well. But like 300,000 for light speed, that isn't off enough to matter for many purposes as it also is less than .1% incorrect. In fact it is off by just about the same amount as 3.14 is from the most accurate value.

Well, that was disappointing. I was expecting a convoluted geometric construction "proving" that π is exactly 22/7, not just some dude saying over and over that it is so because it is so.

Pretty sure I know what makes a bybee work. There is a third spin component (or vector).
It could be biological or - I don't know yet.
Has been around since the 1950s or so but was not applied as the in bybee hifi products.
