That post doesn't mention Maxwell. It doesn't mention the Trinity either. Schazjmd(talk) 23:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Schazjmd: Actually it does. You have to click through the pages to find it, or else click on "all". However, what was actually posted in the article was not "Maxwell believed in the Trinity", but that belief in the Trinity led to Maxwell's equations, which was why I reverted it. I'm not sure that I understand why it is so important to state this was one of Maxwell's beliefs. Surely that follows from his religion which is already well covered in the article? I'm pretty sure he would have believed in Jesus too, but I don't see any need to state it explicitly. Anyway, as I pointed out in detail on my talk page, that source is so full of nonsense there is no way we should treat it as reliable for anything. SpinningSpark 12:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"metameres" should just be "metamers" Cartler (talk) 02:46, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I've confirmed your account so you should be able to edit the page yourself now. But I think you only needed one more edit to be auto-confirmed anyway. SpinningSpark 17:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Einstein, when he visited the University of Cambridge in 1922, was told by his host that he had done great things because he stood on Newton's shoulders; Einstein replied: "No I don't. I stand on the shoulders of Maxwell."[1]" On looking up the reference, it is discovered that the book attributes the story to something "recounted by the American physicist Frederick Seitz". Seitz was born in 1911 in the US and would have been 11 in 1922. It is not clear he ever went to Cambridge or who he got the story from. "The Fire i' the Flint" doesn't give a reference for Seitz's story. It sounds like the kind of thing people want Einstein to have said. Removed as it falls well short of Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. It appears from Seitz's Wikipedia article that he was "a central figure amongst global warming deniers" and that he "played a key role... in helping the tobacco industry produce uncertainty concerning the health impacts of smoking."
