Monte Davis, Philadelphia science writer, an editor of the old Omni magazine and a book writer, wrote in 1979 a meditation on waves, particles, and James Clerk Maxwell to mark the 100th year of the great man’s death. It found no home in that pre-internet time. He’s put it up at least once on the web, in 2006, and now again. This is the first I’ve seen it. Bravo.
A practical minded commenter calls it, upon this emergence, arty farty and asserts it is peppered with scientific mistakes too. Well, perhaps on the latter, maybe even the former, and of course the world needs sensible shoes. But I like this thing. It’s like a meander of notes artfully knitted together.
