[QUOTE="gmax137, post: 6348636, member: 112505"] I was watching [I]Jeopardy[/I] last night. In the Category "Magnet" was the following: "An 1845 letter from the 21-year-old future Lord Kelvin inspired [I]this[/I] British scientist to show how magnetism & light are related" My guess: [SPOILER]Maxwell[/SPOILER] I was pretty sure this was wrong, based on the 1845 time frame, but I couldn't come up with another answer before the buzzer. The contestant obviously didn't know either, she finally said, [SPOILER]"Who is Cavendish"[/SPOILER] The right answer [SPOILER]"Faraday"[/SPOILER] Would you get that right? The [I]Jeopardy[/I] "science" questions are almost always easy definitions (like, "It is denoted by 'c' in the famous Einstein equation E=mc2"). [/QUOTE]
