Christian Andreas Doppler is renowned primarily for his revolutionary theory of the Doppler effect, which has deeply influenced many areas of modern science and technology, including medicine. His work has laid the foundations for modern ultrasonography and his ideas are still inspiring discoveries more than a hundred years after his death. Doppler may well earn the title of Homo Universalis for his broad knowledge of physics, mathematics and astronomy and most of all for his indefatigable investigations for new ideas and his ingenious mind. According to Bolzano: "It is hard to believe how fruitful a genius Austria has in this man". His legacy of scientific achievement have seen Doppler honoured in the later years on coinage and money, names of streets, educational institutions, rock groups, even of a lunar crater; while the ultimate tribute to his work is the countless references to the homonymous medical eponym.
克里斯蒂安·安德烈亚斯·多普勒主要因其革命性的多普勒效应理论而闻名,该理论对现代科学技术的许多领域,包括医学,都产生了深远影响。他的工作为现代超声检查奠定了基础,并且在他去世一百多年后,他的思想仍在启发着新的发现。多普勒因其对物理学、数学和天文学的广泛知识,最重要的是因其对新思想的不懈探索和他的聪明才智,完全有资格获得“博学家”的称号。据博尔扎诺说:“很难相信奥地利在这个人身上拥有如此富有成果的天才”。他的科学成就遗产使多普勒在晚年在硬币、货币、街道名称、教育机构、摇滚乐队甚至月球陨石坑的命名中都得到了纪念;而对他工作的最终敬意是对这个同名医学术语的无数引用。
