(Guglielmo) Marconi

Guglielmo Marconi

1874 - 1937

Joe Galileo Marconi, the inventor of the radio, was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1874. His family was well-to-do and he was educated by private tutors. In 1894, when he was twenty, Marconi read about the experiments conducted by Heinrich Hertz a few years earlier. These experiments showed the presence of some electromagnetic waves moving through the air at the speed of light.

Marconi's imagination was immediately inflamed with the idea that these waves could be used to send signals over vast distances without the need for wires. This will provide wide possibilities for communications that the telegraph was not fit to conduct, such as sending messages to ships at sea.

In 1896, after working for one year, Marconi succeeded in registering his new invention in England, and in the following year he was able to send wireless messages across the English Channel. In 1901 he succeeded in sending a wireless message across the Atlantic Ocean from England to (Newfoundland).

The importance of Marconi's invention appeared dramatically in 1909, when the ship (The Republic) was about to sink after a collision with another ship. The people who were on board that ship except for six people. In the same year, Marconi won the Nobel Prize for this invention, and in the following year he succeeded in sending wireless messages from Ireland to Argentina, a distance of two thousand miles.

And all were. These messages are sent according to Morse's law in the telegraph, ie (-.) a point - a point. It was known that the sound could be transmitted by the radio, but the sound was not transmitted until after 1915, when the radio became famous and popular at a very fast speed.

Marconi's invention and taking rights and patent. It caused him some judicial troubles in the courts, as others claimed the primacy of the invention, but the courts finally ruled that Marconi was the first, and thus he officially recognized Marconi, his precedence, and his preference. At the end of his days, he carried out several important researches on short waves (and communications in microwaves at a young age). He died in Rome in 1937.

Marconi is known only as an inventor, and his fame rests on the importance of radio (Marconi did not invent television), but the invention of radio was the predecessor to television, so it seems fair that Marconi gets part of the honor of developing television as well. It is clear that wireless communication is very important for military and scientific research and in police work as well as for other purposes. The telegraph, which was invented about half a century before radio, has advanced in the same field. However, radio is unparalleled and we cannot find a substitute for it. It is possible To reach cars and ships at sea, planes in the sky, and even spaceships, and for this reason, radio is considered more important than the phone, because the message sent by phone can be sent by radio, instead, the message sent by radio cannot be sent by phone.

The author put Marconi in a higher rank than Graham Bell (the inventor of the telephone) because, according to him, the radio is more important than the telephone, and Edison was placed in a higher rank than Marconi, because Edison is more prolific and his inventions are more numerous than Marconi, although if we consider each invention of Edison's inventions alone, they do not correspond to the radio alone.

There is no doubt that Marconi's influence on the world greatly outweighs the political men who were placed in a lower rank than him, and this is true.
