Google Doodle Pays Tribute To Heinrich Hertz


Today's Google doodle takes the form of electromagnetic waves to pay tribute to German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz on his 155th birth anniversary. Hertz was born at Hamburg on February 22, 1857. Hertz was the first to broadcast and receive radio waves. His pioneering work laid the way for the development of radio, television and radar.

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, wasn't he the Freemason who manipulated James Clerk Maxwell's equations in such a way, they became less useful for humanity?
