According to Wikipedia, Ernst Waldfried Josef Wenzel Mach was an Austrian physicist and philosopher, who contributed to the physics of shock waves. The ratio of the speed of a flow or object to that of sound is named the Mach number in his honour.

Through his criticism of Newton's theories of space and time, he foreshadowed Einstein's theory of relativity.
