⌘The real researchers

Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867), James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) and Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857 – 1894) established the theory for the understanding of electromagnetic waves [Source:Magne Pettersen, Wikipedia]

⌘Heinrich Hertz - The electromagnectic wave

Hertz did not realise the practical importance of his experiments. He stated that, "It's of no use whatsoever[...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right - we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there." [3]

Asked about the ramifications of his discoveries, Hertz replied, "Nothing, I guess." [3]

⌘The real researchers

Guglielmo Marconi (1874 - 1937) experimented with Hertz waves in 1894/1895

• used 50000 UK pound on a transatlantic experiment in 1901
• brought electromagnetics to life

⌘The real researchers - Graham Bell

• Graham Bell (1874 -1922) invented the phone,...
• but who invented also the mobile phone back in 1924?

Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study
