[[Albert Einstein]] relied heavily upon Maxwell's ideas, which were in part mathematized forms of [[Michael Faraday]]'s work, to create the theories of [[relativity]]. In a very real sense, relativity is Faraday and Maxwell's electromagnetism applied to the stars. <ref> "Influence on the Development of the Conception of Physical Reality" by Albert Einstein, written for the centenary of Maxwell's birth (1931) </ref>
