Why is the speed of light what it is? Maxwell equations visualized

Twitter: @arvin_ash The History Guy video on Maxwell: . Why is the maximum speed of the universe the speed of light? Maxwell’s equations explained and visualized. Why is light so fast? What is light made of? Almost all modern technology is based on Maxwell’s equations. Not only do they describe every electrical and magnetic phenomenon, but hidden within these equations is a fundamental truth about the nature of light, and why it is the ultimate speed of the universe. We are going to visualize the equations with graphics. Objects have something called a charge. This is a property of matter like mass is a property of matter. If you have a static object with a charge, it will affect only other charges. And if you have a static magnet, it will affect only other magnets. But if you have a moving charge, it will affect a magnet. And if you have a moving magnet, it will affect a charge. That’s what the four equations are telling us.
