Because this theory explain all of chemistry and the reason for the various properties of substances, it was hailed a success, but there was still no answer to the interaction between light and matter: Maxwell's Electrodynamics had to be altered to align with quantum theory, which began to be developed in 1929 by Dirac.

Once motion, sound and heat were synthesized, we also discovered electrical and magnetic phenomena, which were synthesized with the phenomena of light and optics by Maxwell, by presenting light as an electromagnetic wave.

The creation of Cavendish, was due to a number of interacting factors, such as the scientific tradition of Cambridge, academic policy, and the ideas and personalities of the two chief individuals involved: Maxwell, and the Duke of Devonshire.

Work in contributions from James Clerk Maxwell, also consider Richard Feynman/P.A.M. Dirac's QED contributions, which help give us the field theoretic picture of the relativistic nature of the wave nature of the electron.

The earliest field theory, is gifted to us via James Clerk Maxwell, who developed the formula forElectrodynamics, but while this contained a gauge symmetry, it went unnoticed.
