Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857-1894)
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz is widely known for being one of the first scientists to broadcast and receive electromagnetic waves, but is also important for his contributions to the field of optics. Most notably, Hertz was the first investigator ever to observe the phenomenon that would eventually come to be known as the photoelectric effect. The discovery of this phenomenon, which is generally defined as the emission of electrons from a surface exposed to electromagnetic radiation above a certain threshold frequency, had a tremendous influence on the perception of light, which was just beginning to be understood in terms of a duality between waves and particles [...]

Werner Karl Heisenberg
Werner Heisenberg was born on 5th December, 1901, at Würzburg. He was the son of Dr. August Heisenberg and his wife Annie Wecklein.

Hegel studied theology at Tübingen, where he met Schelling and Hölderlin, was a family tutor in Berne (1793) and Frankfurt-am-Main (1796), and in 1801 as privatdozent at Jena, edited with Schelling the Kritische Journal der Philosophie (1802-1803), in which he outlined his system with its emphasis on reason rather than the Romantic intuitionism of Schelling, which he attacked in The Phenomenology of Mind (1807).

Alexander von Humboldt
He climbed Vesuvius three times, studied Indians and dived to the bottom of the Thames in a diving bell: Alexander von Humboldt was regarded as one of the world’s greatest scholars and explorers in his own lifetime. The 6 May 2009 is the 150th anniversary of his death. Born in Berlin in 1769, Humboldt enjoyed a good education: he and his elder brother Wilhelm – also later to become a scholar and founder of Berlin’s Humboldt University – were instructed by private tutors, from whom Alexander early on acquired his enthusiasm for voyages of discovery.
