What is recorded here
Alfred Robb is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who would map light and motion first watched rain trace diagonal lines across a Belfast window. Maybe that simple diagonal taught him more than any lecture hall. Imagine him young, watching the world tilt and turn, learning the shapes he would later give to physics.
Why this person is known: British physicist (1873–1936)
