James Clerk Maxwell weaved equations, a caricature of complexity, uniting electricity and magnetism in 1864. Oliver Lodge, a British physicist, followed suit in 1904, as depicted in this Spy magazine illustration. Heinkel Hertz's groundbreaking experiment in 1887 revealed electromagnetic waves, bursting energy into a powerful beam of light. This transparency diagram illustrates Earth's atmosphere's selective passage of various radiations. Fast forward to modern times, radar on a cruise ship harnesses these waves, piercing through the elements, ensuring safe journeys.
