The Universe Had a Bug — What Was Broken Before Einstein
The story of why physics was in crisis by 1900. Two brilliant theories — Newton's mechanics and Maxwell's electromagnetism — both worked perfectly on their own but contradicted each other about something fundamental. This tutorial builds both theories from scratch, shows where they clash, and sets the stage for why Einstein's radical solution was necessary.
