Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was the first guy to conduct an experiment to prove that you could transmit electromagnetic waves through space in 1888. When asked about the importance of the experiment, Herr Heinrich said…
“It is of no use whatsoever [...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right — we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there."
When asked what the practical application of this was, he said…
“Nothing, I guess”
Today, radio is an essential technology in global telecommunication networks, and the transmission medium underlying modern wireless devices.
