School on the invention of radio… and something else

Autors: 
Miller Mihail Adolfovich, Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract: 

This lecture was delivered at the Summer Physical and Mathematical School in the‚ Green Town (the neighbourhood of Nizhny. Novgorod) on August 4, 1997. Its performance reminded а jazz style similar to swing music. The leit-motiv (the leading theme concerning invention and noninvention of radio) is accomplished with various improvisations — from diagnostics of peculiarities of natural от artificial thinking... up to 
some oddities of people customs. The problem of priority of an invention in the case of radio has а trivial solution (according ю the author’s opinion). Those were Faraday, Maxwell and Hertz who proclaimed the community of the whole electromagnetism (from statics to optics). So the following skilled scientists and engineers invented not more than technical methods and means of breaking—in intermediate frequencies. Therefore a plenty 
of claimants appeared to be «primary discoverers» (of wireless communication by means of electromagnetic waves). Thus a rare case takes place: in which it is simpler to establish «fatherhood» ап «motherhood».
