Thomson Joseph John (1856940) was an English physicist who won the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the electron. From the foreword by prof. A. K. Timiryazeva: "The Book of J. J. Thomson's "Electricity and Matter", which appeared in 1903, retains all its significance at the present time. It is an accessible presentation of the author's views on the structure of the electromagnetic field .. Maxwell's theory of the electromagnetic field is usually depicted as a translation of Faraday's great ideas into modern mathematical language. Thomson's theory is also a translation, but much closer to the original. Original work by J. J. Thomson was printed between 1880 and the present day. They are a whole ,. Therefore, the remarkable works of Thomson appeared in 1924 and 1925 ,. giving synthesis of wave and quantum theory of light , They are unaccounted for ,. as , Being detached from all previous works , They seem to be rife with all sorts of arbitrary assumptions. In fact, they are in a harmonious logical connection with what was found by Thomson earlier and which seems to have been thoroughly forgotten.
