maxwells equations are most likely incorrect, wich doesent really help understanding an eventually electric driven universe.
Light =/= Electricity

Light can traverse in a vacuum and light=electricity.......
Abracadabra! Your computer and the internet seem to work! Someone must have figured it out.
Electricity is the modern day magic, very few can even grasp a basic understanding of how it truly works.

Light can be transformed into electricity, so light = electricity.
What else can be transformed into electricity? (try not to use google )
OK so now you're saying that not only does light = electricity, but also pressure, temperature, friction, and chemicals? All those are electricity because they can be transformed into electricity?

Each way you described all generate electricity the same way, via a generator. Our nuclear power planets create steam that turns a turbine using heat from the fission.
Pressure, temperature, light, friction, and chemically are other ways we can 'create' electricity.
There are seven fundamental methods of directly transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy:
Static electricity, from the physical separation and transport of charge (examples: triboelectric effect and lightning)
Electromagnetic induction, where an electrical generator, dynamo or alternator transforms kinetic energy (energy of motion) into electricity. This is the most used form for generating electricity and is based on Faraday's law. It can be experimented by simply rotating a magnet within closed loops of a conducting material (e.g. copper wire)
Electrochemistry, the direct transformation of chemical energy into electricity, as in a battery, fuel cell or nerve impulse
Photoelectric effect, the transformation of light into electrical energy, as in solar cells
Thermoelectric effect, the direct conversion of temperature differences to electricity, as in thermocouples, thermopiles, and thermionic converters.
Piezoelectric effect, from the mechanical strain of electrically anisotropic molecules or crystals. Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a piezoelectric generator sufficient to operate a liquid crystal display using thin films of M13 bacteriophage.
Nuclear transformation, the creation and acceleration of charged particles (examples: betavoltaics or alpha particle emission
The same is said about electromagnetic radiation (photons), in theory. However, in practice, it has not yet been observed as far as I know. The reason is hinted at in the equation E=mc^2

I do not know if the same can be said about electromagnetism.
It's relativity which is 4 dimensional thinking. Some guys are thinking in 11 dimensions, but so far that line of thought hasn't been productive in the real world.
Light exerts gravity : in general relativity, gravity is coupled to energy density and momentum flow, not only mass like in newtonian gravity. An electromagnetic wave will exert its own gravity, though extremely weak and not currently measurable. Gravity exerted by massive bodies is much higher because of their huge energy content (see the c squared term in Einstein formula).

Coal, natural gas, water falling over the side of a dam, wind blowing through a windmill, and nuclear fission for starters, which by the way is how most of our electricity is generated. So all those are electricity too?
Are you familiar with Tom Bearden's work?
Among other things, he talked about his research into Maxwell's equations. He said that they were deliberately altered, at the behest of JP Morgan, by Lorentz, to symmetrize them, so they would not contain overunity systems. This was done in 1892
I was asked this question:

all our electricity originates from light, wich is the universes way of exchanging energy.
how come a "scientist" isnt aware of this basic principle? ~~
And you're saying the answer to this question should have been light, and since I didn't respond with that answer, I'm unaware of the properties of light?

Light =/= Electricity
Light is electromagnetic energy consisting of photons with with no rest mass.
Electric current involves the movement of charged particles with mass. They are not the same at all, though in some ways they are related..
