	Fritz Walther Meissner was born in Berlin, Germany on December 16, 1882 to Waldemar Meissner and Johanna Greger. He was educated at the Technical University of Berlin, studying physics and mechanical engineering; his supervisor was Max Planck. After, he attended the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Berlin. In 1926, he became chair in technical physics at the Technical University of Munich. He also later became the president of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Sadly, Meissner lived lonely for the last few years until his death in 1974, with only his two dogs to accompany him.

	This is due to the superconductor creating electric currents at the surface that will cancel the magnetic field. This effect continues for a very long time as the cancellation is not dependent on time, which leads the superconductor to be thought of as always expelling magnetic fields.
