Briefly, Whitehead initially (in works published circa 1919 - 1924) objected to Einstein's formulation of the theory of relativity on the grounds that for Einstein the geometry of the world was variable, its metric being a function of gravitational and electromagnetic field variables.

Einstein's formation of the theory of relativity states that the geometry of the world is variable, its metric being a function of gravitational and electromagnetic field variables.

McLuhan saw a hot culture cooling down by the unified field theories of physics that have their practical application in electromagnetic communications.

The notion of an electromagnetic field propagating in a vacuum is meaningful precisely because it is part of an elaborate physical theory which has numerous well - confirmed observable implications.

So the meaningfulness of talk about the joint class, A, B, C, and D, can not be defended as being the same kind of theoretical talk as is found in such as Maxwell's electromagnetic theory.

For his fellowship dissertation on Maxwell's electromagnetic field theory, 11 as well as his first two scientific publications on special problems of the hydrodynamics of incompressible fluids12 testify to an at least open relationship to problems of mathematical physics.

During the past century, electromagnetic theory united electrostatics, magnetostatics, and network theory with optics in one stroke; special relativity combined classical mechanics with electromagnetic theory; general relativity combined the theory of gravitation with physical geometry and special relativity; and quantum mechanics united much of physics with, at least in principle, all of chemistry.

In fact, at the time of Maxwell's death, his theory of electromagnetic fields was not yet widely accepted or even well known; experts still argued about whether electricity and magnetism propagated their effects via «action at a distance,» as gravity (supposedly) did, or by Michael Faraday's «lines of force» (incorporated by Maxwell into his fields).

However, this correlation is distinct from that in the article, as it can be understood in terms of classical electromagnetic theory.

There are all kinds of theories — floor mats that ride up to depress the accelerator pedals, frictional wear in the brake mechanism, defective electronic controls, electromagnetic interference.

Dirac's 1927 paper on this interaction is seen as the first step tow - ards a theory now called quantum electro - dynamics or QED, the theory of the electromagnetic interaction of charged particles.

BICEP2's value of r suggests that this was the same energy scale at which all the forces of nature except gravity (the electromagnetic, strong and weak forces) might have been unified into a single force — an idea called grand unified theory.

The theory reconciled the physics of moving bodies developed by Galileo Galilei and Newton with the laws of electromagnetic radiation.

«One of the great recent achievements of modern physics is a quantum field theory in which weak and electromagnetic interactions are understood to arise from a common symmetry.

Starting with the assumption baked into James Clerk Maxwell's theory of the electromagnetic force, formulated 40 years earlier, that light always travels at the same speed, the special theory of relativity demonstrated how two observers in motion relative to each other will not perceive ruler lengths and clock ticks the same way.
