So this morning I was looking at an old shirt I own which has Maxwell's Equations on the back, and I was thinking about undulating electric and magnetic fields. And then I thought, hey, if I could just set up an oscillating electric field, that would induce an oscillating magnetic field, and that would induce another electric field, etc, and they would propagate away as light. And then it hit me: I just invented the antenna. And only 115 years too late.
After recovering from the shock, I decided that the best invention of all is the time machine, because with that you can go back in time and be the first to invent everything else.
