Is Lord Blackburn not the best thing to come out of Scotland?
Nope, that'd be James Clerk Maxwell.

M8 he wasnt even right, smarter people used his ideas as a jump. Blackburn is the leading judge of the 19th century. The law he laid down is still extremely relevant.

Well we don't still couch it in terms of lie algebra but he was completely correct. He even predicted that light and electromagnetism were the same thing by calculating the conditions for a self-propagating EM field and finding that it's velocity had to equal the known value for the speed of light.
Maxwell paved the way for modern electronics... radios, computers, microwaves, cell phones, etc.
