=⌘Heinrich Hertz - The electromagnectic wave = Hertz did not realise the practical importance of his experiments. He stated that, "It's of no use whatsoever[...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right - we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there." [3]

Asked about the ramifications of his discoveries, Hertz replied, "Nothing, I guess." [3]

Note
The experiments, demonstrating the relation between the electrical and the magnetic component of the electromagnetic wave, was probably the most important discovery of Heinrich Hertz.

=⌘The real researchers = Guglielmo Marconi (1874 - 1937) experimented with Hertz waves in 1894/1895
 * used 50000 UK pound on a transatlantic experiment in 1901
 * brought electromagnetics to life

Note: Marconi
The first experiment failed, as a storm took down the antenna, and Marconi got bankrupt. But he managed to establish new funds for the first transatlantic communication based on radio signals. Recommended reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi

=⌘The real researchers - Graham Bell=
 * Graham Bell (1874 -1922) invented the phone,...
 * but who invented also the mobile phone back in 1924?

Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study
