There are no limits to what science can explore. - Ernest Solvay

About Ernest Solvay

Ernest Gaston Joseph Solvay (April 16, 1838 – May 26, 1922) was a Belgian chemist, industrialist and philanthropist. The exploitation of his patents brought Solvay considerable wealth, which he used for philanthropic purposes. In 1911, he began a series of important conferences in physics, known as the Solvay Conferences, whose participants included luminaries such as Max Planck, Ernest Rutherford, Marie Curie, Henri Poincaré, and (then only 32 years old) Albert Einstein. A later conference would include Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Erwin Schrödinger.
