Timeline 1

  • Ernst Mach

    Ernst Mach was an Austrian physicist and philosopher. Unlike the previous two physicists on the timeline, Mach contributed to the understanding and physics of shockwaves and physiological psychology. More notably his work in propagation physics and methods of the measurement of speed is what hes more famous for. "Ernst Mach" Standford Encyclopedia, May 21 2008 - Revised: March 3rd 2019
