The Lorentz contraction hypothesis was put forward in an attempt to explain the negative result of the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 designed to demonstrate the earth's absolute motion through space (see

A D V E N T U R E S in C Y B E R S O U N D George Francis FitzGerald : 1851 - 1901 George Francis FitzGerald, (b. Aug. 3, 1851, Dublind. Feb. 22, 1901, Dublin), physicist who first suggested a method of producing radio waves, thus helping to lay the basis of wireless telegraphy. He also developed a theory, now known as the Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction, which Einstein used in his own special theory of relativity. FitzGerald became a tutor at Trinity College in Dublin in 1877 and professor of natural and experimental philosophy in 1881. From his studies of radiation he concluded that an oscillating electric current would produce electromagnetic waves. This finding was later verified experimentally by Heinrich R. Hertz of Germany and used in the development of wireless telegraphy. Independently of Hendrik A. Lorentz of The Netherlands, FitzGerald studied the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment (1887) and arrived at a similar conclusion. The experiment was an attempt to measure the Earth's motion relative to the pervasive luminiferous ether postulated as the medium within which light waves were propagated. The attempt failed to detect any such motion. In 1892 FitzGerald suggested that when in motion, a body is shorter (along its line of motion) than when at rest and that such a shortening, or contraction, affects the instruments used in the experiment. Lorentz arrived at this idea independently in 1895 and developed it considerably.

However, this suggestion by FitzGerald, as we shall see below, was not in the area in which he undertook most of his research, and he would certainly not have rated this his greatest contribution. George FitzGerald's parents were William FitzGerald and Anne Frances Stoney. His father William was a minister in the Irish Protestant Church and rector of St Ann's Dublin at the time of George's birth. William, although having no scientific interests himself, was an intellectual who went on to become Bishop of Cork and later Bishop of Killaloe. It seems that George's later interest in metaphysics came from his father's side of the family. George's mother was the daughter of George Stoney from Birr in King's County and she was also from an intellectual family. George Johnstone Stoney, who was Anne's brother, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and George FitzGerald's liking for mathematics and physics seems to have come mainly from his mother's side of the family.

Fitzgerald, George Irish physicist known for his work on electromagnetics. In 1892 he explained the anomalous results of the Michelson-Morley experiment 1887 by supposing that bodies moving through the ether contracted as their velocity increased, an effect since known as the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction. Fitzgerald was born in Dublin and studied there at Trinity College, where he was professor of natural and experimental philosophy from 1888. Fitzgerald predicted that a rapidly oscillating (that is, alternating) electric current should result in the radiation of electromagnetic waves - a prediction proved correct in the late 1880s by Heinrich Hertz's early experiments with radio, which Fitzgerald brought to the attention of the scientific community in Britain. Considering the Michelson-Morley result - or lack of result - Fitzgerald worked out a simple mathematical relationship to show how velocity affects physical dimensions. The idea was independently arrived at and developed by Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz in 1895. In 1905, the contraction hypothesis was incorporated and given a different interpretation in

Tompaine.com September 01, 2005 Hurricane Katrina: Barbour Defends Bush: Liberal Bloggers Help; Being Pro-Looting; and Why Bush Can Be Blamed As you can see from the ad to your right, liberal bloggers have banded together to raise money for the hurricane relief efforts and to help our Red State neighbors. The goal, as the ad says, is to raise $1 million. Please consider clicking on the ad and doing what you can. In the meantime, I propose putting off the GOP effort to kill the estate tax for millionaires and to devote a portion of those funds for reconstruction in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast. I ask my fellow liberal bloggers to join me in this call, and to raise this question: will Haley Barbour endorse our campaign? As The New York Times editorializes today, a moment like this shows Bush's weaknesses. He was late to respond (again!) and his rhetoric was hollow (no surprise). Yesterday he declared, "America will be a stronger place for it." Puh-lease. Did he ask his speechwriters for the most empty platitude they could concoct? Then today he proclaimed there would be "zero tolerance" for looters. But if I were stuck in New Orleans waiting for help from a government that had failed me and my family was without water, food or clothes, I'd grab what I could from where I could. I'd worry about payment later. Sure, some looters are criminals exploiting the emergency. But many are people trying to survive. Who would watch their kids go hungry rather than break a window at a Winn-Dixie? Not me. Call me pro-looting-when-it's-necessary.
