mar 15, 1873 - James Clerk Maxwell
Description:
He proposed the theory of electromagnetism and made the connection between light and electromagnetic waves. He was very interested in all topics especially math and science. He is ranked with Isaac and Einstein in terms of importance. His theory is still relevant today and is the reason why we know that light comes from electromagnetic waves. This is important to the history of the electron because we know that these waves are responsible for the light that we see.
