The subject of February 22’s birthday-bash Google Doodle, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, made the invisible visible, established one of the metrics we use to measure musical pitch, computer processing speed, radar and Wi-Fi, and was sadly struck down by an incurable disease that destroyed his organs, ending his life at just 36. He would have been 155 today.
Today’s oscillating Google Doodle offers apt tribute to Hertz with its roller coaster-like wave peaks and troughs fashioned after Google’s rainbow-colored logo.
