The emotional journey of a physicist through Maxwell's equations. Top: Perfectly calm when looking at Ampère's law in its static form. Middle: Complete panic when realizing the divergence of current density should be zero, but the equation violates conservation of charge. Bottom: Serenity restored when Maxwell adds the displacement current term, fixing the inconsistency and accidentally predicting electromagnetic waves. Just another day of having an existential crisis over partial differential equations.
