Ernst Mach was born in Chirlitz, Moravia. He became a famous philosopher and physicist who helped develop principles in optics, wave dynamics and mechanics. -
Professor Mach discovered this optical illusion which exaggerates the boundaries between different shades of gray. -
Professor Mach was able to developed different techniques to take photographic images of sound waves and wave propagation -
During this year, Professor Mach was able to confirm the principles of supersonic speeds. This discovery led to what we know as Mach Numbers or the ratio of the velocity of an object to the velocity of sound. -
This principle went through rigorous falsifiability's in order to be proposed. Defining inertia as having a symbiotic relationship with every object in the universe. This ultimately paved the pathway for Einstein's Theory of Relativity! -
Two years after suffering a stroke, Professor Mach departed from this life, a day after his 78th birthday!
