You'll be telling us that he was Jesus Christ reincarnate next.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30724569/so-you-are-sitting-on-a-train-and-the-train-is-moving?post_id=549673127#549673127I don't know where you get your stuff from Zorro but Maxwell's work was classical field and non-relativistic.

Imagine his feelings when the differential equations he had formulated proved to him that electromagnetic fields spread in the form of polarised waves, and at the speed of light!https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30724569/so-you-are-sitting-on-a-train-and-the-train-is-moving?post_id=549670725#549670725The precise formulation of the time-space laws was the work of Maxwell.
