Ernst Mach
Ernst Waldfried Josef Wenzel Mach is an Austrian physicist and philosopher, known for his contributions to physics such as shock wave research. The ratio of a person's speed to the speed of sound is called the Mach number in his honor. As a philosopher of science, he had a major influence on logical positivism and American pragmatism. Through his critique of Newton's theories of space and time, he predicted Einstein's theory of relativity.
