The Mechanical Universe
Gravity, Electricity, Magnetism. Dramatic forces at play in the Physics Theater. The gravitational force between two masses, the electric force between two charges, and the magnetic force between two magnetic poles - all these forces take essentially the same mathematical form. Newton's script suggested connections between electricity and magnetism. Acting on scientific hunches, Maxwell saw the matter in an entirely new light. (from themechanicaluniverse.org)
