Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German physicist, satirist, and Anglophile.
As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany.
He is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called sudelbücher, a description
modelled on the English bookkeeping term "waste books" or "scrapbooks" and for his discovery of tree-like electrical
discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.
