Scientific paper

The direct and indirect relationship between the British physicist originally from Austria, Sir Hermann Bondi, and Venezuelan physics are presented. Special emphasis is made of his more remarkable human qualities, nobility and humbleness, besides his important contribution to General Relativity and to the European science agencies. Self--declared as a staunch disciple of Popperian philosophy, Bondi defended the "hard and dirty" physics against the "inmaculate and beauty" physics. Attention is focused on two cornerstones of Bondi's work, followed thoroughly by Luis Herrera and disciples in Venezuela.
