Paul Schatzkin | T. Townsend Brown, Philo T. Farnsworth, Secret Science, & The Caroline Group
RCA, Marconi and the Post-1905 Scientific Revolution
The conversation shifts to the corporate history of RCA and its origins as a government-sanctioned spin-off of the American Marconi Company. Shatzkin emphasizes that both Philo Farnsworth and T. Townsend Brown were "digital natives" of the post-1905 era, growing up in a world defined by Albert Einstein's theories of relativity. This scientific backdrop informed their work on electronic video and atomic physics.
