I really liked this one, and the follow-on videos show a lot of promise. The maker starts with the four equations that we see on T shirts. He admits that at the time he first saw them, he did not understand. But in this video, he digs in, and finally gets it. The connection between Maxwell's equations and C (the speed of light) are especially well presented.
There is a document that goes quite a bit further, and explores the connections between Maxwell's equations and quantum mechanics. It is by that wonderful physicist Freeman Dyson. It is entitled "Why is Maxwell's theory so hard to understand?" Check it out:
