Beyond electromagnetism, Maxwell made significant contributions to the kinetic theory of gases, with Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution providing insight into the statistical nature of molecular behavior.

Thanks AIY. James Clerk Maxwell is one of my heros.

Some of his work is a bit on the heavyside for me; there were times I just wanted to curl up.

No doubt about that but it is not so much the technical side of his work that I was impressed by it is his background and application plus of course the huge effect he had on modern technology. Of course there is a fairly convincing argument that if he had not followed up the development of Faraday's work someone else undoubtedly would have.

OK. That's enough, smart [expletive deleted]!

We need to keep on topic here and not diverge... :roll:
