I made three vintage posters about subjects and people which I've found intriguing since I was a young lad.
The mystery of RADIO is what raised my interest in technology, especially electronics and physics.
The poster shows the simplest and most magical radio receivers of all: the "Brownie" no. 3 crystal receiver. This device uses no battery or plug: what you hear in your headphones is purely the energy of the radio waves.

Later on in my life I went to university to study Electrical Engineering. It was quite astonishing to learn that everything from light to radio to cosmic radiation could be described by those four elegant mathematical equations, written down in 1865 by James Clerk Maxwell.
It still amazes me how exactly mathematics can describe the physical phenomena of electric and magnetic fields, when we don't really understand what those fields really are...

Last but certainly not least: Claude E. Shannon.
The Information Theory exam, is the only exam of the entire Electric Engineering curriculum that I had to retake, because I initially failed. My second attempt was flawless. So I do understand his mathematical theory about information; thank you very much Claude Shannon!
In 1948 he was the first to mathematically define the unit of information: the 0 and the 1, the "bit"! It is something that now seems so utterly obvious to us, that we tend to forget that someone had to discover or "invent" it.
I am convinced that we have not yet seen and understood the significance of his discovery to its full extend. The concept of information will lead to far-reaching unification towards the "theory of everything". Shannon will be bigger than Einstein!
