In many cases, mathematics is an escape from reality. The mathematician finds his own monastic niche and happiness in pursuits that are disconnected from external affairs. Some practice it as if using a drug. Chess sometimes plays a similar role. In their unhappiness over the events of this world, some immerse themselves in a kind of self-sufficiency in mathematics. (Some have engaged in it for this reason alone.) Stanisław Marcin Ulam		Friday May 29, 2026

About Heinrich Rudolf Hertz

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (February 22, 1857 - January 1, 1894) was the German physicist and mechanician for whom the hertz, an SI unit, is named. In 1888, he was the first to satisfactorily demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves by building an apparatus to produce and detect UHF radio waves. Another of his important contributions was to the field of contact deformation and mechanics.

Popular Heinrich Rudolf Hertz Quotes
