Before this week's Cosmos, I was featured on the Black Girl Nerds podcast with Danielle Lee. We talked Cosmos and other science issues - check it out the podcast below as well as the accompanying Storify!

Episode 10 of Fox's Cosmos is titled "The Electric Boy" - and luckily has no tie in Jamie Foxx's Electro from The Amazing Spiderman 2. We see how the first electric motor and generator were created based on the observations and experiments of scientists such as Michael Faraday and Humphry Davys. With the added math of James Maxwell, the world was ready to harness the part of electricity in useful ways.

Check out some YouTube videos from Fox's channel and the live tweet Storify conversation below!

The unseen something in the space around a magnetic bar is referred to as the magnetic field.

Breakthroughs in technology have allowed us to use electromagnetic waves to link us at light speed to each other and to the cosmos.
