Genius


Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.   Georg C. Lichtenberg
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist, and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. Today, he is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called Sudelbücher, a description modelled on the English bookkeeping term “scrapbooks”, and for his discovery of the strange tree-like electrical discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.
