What if Maxwell's equations had gone differently?

Four equations unite electricity, magnetism and light and predict radio waves.

If it had gone differently: The link between electricity, magnetism and light is never made; radio, radar and the electromagnetic century are delayed.

1. 1882Electric power grids, Factories stay chained to their own steam plants; there is no clean power in the home and no electronics to come.
2. 1905Einstein's relativity, Physics keeps Newton's absolute space and time; the road to nuclear energy, GPS and modern cosmology is blocked.
3. 1906Radio broadcasting, Mass culture and mass politics keep moving at the speed of print; no living-room broadcast, ever.
4. 1936Television broadcasting, Mass culture stays a matter of radio and print; the living-room screen that reshapes politics and leisure never arrives.
5. 1957The first satellites, Space stays out of reach; there is no satellite weather, no global live television, no GPS.
