Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge (June 21, 1851 - August 22, 1940) was a
physicist and writer involved the development of the wireless telegraph. Lodge, in his Royal Institute lectures ("The Work of Hertz and Some of His
Successors") coined the term "coherer" and gained the "syntonic" (or tuning) patent from the United Staets Patent Office.
Oliver is also remembered for his studies of life after death.
After his son, Raymond, died in World War I in 1915, he visited several
psychics and wrote about the experience in several books. Altogether, he wrote more than 20 books, about the afterlife, ether, Relativity, and electromagnetics.
