One of the most underrated scientist ever ... He found that magnetism and electricity went together, one would "create" the other and it did so at 90 degree angle. And hence lead to the discovery of elctromagnetism which then allowed us to understand what and how light propagets which then let to us knowing that light has both a frequency and a wave length, which then led to coherent waves namely the laser (which is an acronym that has morphed into a real word) which let to CDs and DVDs and so on. As well as most of what today's technology is based on..

What made him incredible? Well unlike most other theories, this one could not have been predicted!! Prior to this, our understanding is that everything has an effect on another thing meaning that effects of something happen in line with what happens. But this turned out to be at 90 degrees ...

A sweet amazing coincidence now isn't it :)
