About Lichtenberg
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799) was a German philosopher, scientist, and satirist known for his insightful aphorisms and his work in experimental physics. He is often credited with being one of the first to apply the scientific method to the study of electricity, and his detailed observations laid the groundwork for future research in the field. Lichtenberg's sharp wit and keen observations of human nature are preserved in his "Waste Books," a collection of thoughts that continue to resonate in both literary and scientific circles.
