In 1820, a Danish professor's lecture demonstration went sideways when a compass needle twitched near a wire—and suddenly electricity and magnetism weren't separate forces anymore. This accident didn't just unite two phenomena; it revealed that light itself is an electromagnetic wave, setting the stage for everything from radio to quantum mechanics.
