Ernst Mach (February 18, 1838 – February 19, 1916) was an Austrian -Czech physicist and philosopher. He is the namesake for the "Mach number" (aka Mach speed), and the optical illusion known as Mach bands . Today Mach is probably best known for his positivistic account of science and for his subsequent influence on philosophers and the entire ...
