He's one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century, and his work laid the foundation for modern physics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell is a pivotal figure in the history of modern science, and his scientific study was inspired by the belief that the works of nature reflect the work of a designing intelligence. Today, my guest is mathematics educator, curriculum designer, and medical physicist Amos Tarfa, who helps us profile Maxwell to better understand the great scientist’s contributions and lasting influence. Tarfa also unpacks how Maxwell harmonized his faith in God with his scientific reasoning, and gives examples of how his discoveries point toward deeper questions about order, design, and meaning in the universe. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
