Heinrich Hertz quotes
Heinrich Hertz was a German physicist who made groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. His experiments conclusively proved the existence of radio waves, confirming James Clerk Maxwell’s theories. He paved the way for modern wireless communication and the development of radio technology. Here are 4 of his quotes:
It is not particularly satisfactory to see equations set forth as direct results of observation and experiment, where we used to get long mathematical deductions as apparent proofs of them. Nevertheless, I believe that we cannot, without deceiving ourselves, extract much more from known facts than is asserted in the papers referred to. If we wish to lend more color to the theory, there is nothing to prevent us from supplementing all this and aiding our powers of imagination by concrete representations of the various conceptions as to the nature of electric polarisation, the electric current, etc.
