Branch of Science Physicists Nationality Dutch ... Physics Prize Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon (1853-1928) Dutch physicist who was converted from Helmholtz's electromagnetic theory by Hertz's experiments, which he felt were "the greatest triumph that Maxwell's theory has achieved." Using the Maxwellian framework, he proposed a universal theory of physics based purely on the concepts of electromagnetism The fundamental postulates, which were completely independent of mechanical principles, were presented in Inquiry into a Theory of Electrical and Optical Phenomena in Moving Bodies , Leiden 1895). Independently of Fitzgerald , Lorentz he suggested the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment resulted from a contraction of the arms of the interferometer in the direction of the Earth's motion.

Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon Hendrik Antoon Lorentz By courtesy of the Nobelstiftelsen (b. July 18, 1853, Arnhem, Neth.d. Feb. 4, 1928, Haarlem), Dutch physicist and joint winner (with Pieter Zeeman ) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1902 for his theory of electromagnetic radiation, which, confirmed by findings of Zeeman, gave rise to Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity. Lorentz' electron theory was not, however, successful in explaining the negative results of the Michelson-Morley experiment , an effort to measure the velocity of the Earth through the hypothetical luminiferous ether by comparing the velocities of light from different directions. In an attempt to overcome this difficulty he introduced in 1895 the idea of local time (different time rates in different locations). Lorentz arrived at the notion that moving bodies approaching the velocity of light contract in the direction of motion. The Irish physicist George Francis FitzGerald had already arrived at this notion independently ( see Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction , and in 1904 Lorentz extended his work and developed the Lorentz transformations . These mathematical formulas describe the increase of mass, shortening of length, and dilation of time that are characteristic of a moving body and form the basis of Einstein's special theory of relativity. In 1912 Lorentz became director of research at the Teyler Institute, Haarlem, though he remained honorary professor at Leiden, where he gave weekly lectures.

Albert Einstein Quotes I cannot but regard the ether, which can be the seat of an electromagnetic field with its energy and its vibrations, as endowed with a certain degree of substantiality, however different it may be from all ordinary matter. ( Lorentz Indeed one of the most important of our fundamental assumptions must be that the ether not only occupies all space between molecules, atoms, or electrons, but that it pervades all these particles. We shall add the hypothesis that, though the particles may move, the ether always remains at rest. ( Lorentz Albert Einstein on Hendrik Lorentz , 1954) Everybody felt his superiority, but nobody felt oppressed by it. Though he had no illusions about people and human affairs, he was full of kindness toward everybody and everything. Never did he give the impression of domineering, always of serving and helping. He was extremely conscientious, without allowing anything to assume undue importance; a subtle humor guarded him, which was reflected in his eyes and in his smile. A Short Introduction to Hendrik Lorentz Hello and thanks for visiting our website and this page on Hendrik Lorentz (a lovely logical moral scientist). You will find our pages a little different than most, because we are describing reality (and thus explaining Lorentz's ideas / Lorentz Transformations) from a slightly different foundation than the current paradigm of 'particles' and 'fields' in 'Space-Time', to a more simple foundation of Spherical Standing Waves in Space. While it is actually very obvious and sensible once known, it is necessary to read a little on the Wave Structure of Matter before reading this article (you are welcome to read on, but it will be more confusing than it really is).

Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon Dutch physicist, winner (with his pupil Pieter Zeeman) of a Nobel prize in 1902 for his work on the Zeeman effect, in which a magnetic field splits spectral lines. Lorentz spent most of his career trying to develop and improve Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. He also attempted to account for the anomalies of the Michelson-Morley experiment by proposing (independently of Irish physicist George Fitzgerald) that moving bodies contracted in their direction of motion. He took the matter further with his method of transforming space and time coordinates, later known as Lorentz transformations, which prepared the way for Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Lorentz was born in Arnhem and studied at Leiden, where he became professor of theoretical physics at the age of 24. In 1912 he became director of the Teyler Institute in Haarlem.

Ph 10 Geschichte Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853 - 1928) niederländischer Physiker und Mathematiker dar. Hendrik Antoon Lorentz wurde am 13. Juli 1853 in Arnheim geboren. Seine Schulzeit absolvierte er in seiner Geburtsstadt, bis er 1870 für ein Studium der Mathematik und Physik an die Universität Leiden ging. Im Februar 1872 nahm er die Lehrtätigkeit am Abendgymnasium in Arnheim auf und bildete sich autodidaktisch weiter, so dass er 1875 promovieren konnte. Auf Grundlage der Maxwell-Theorie erklärte er in seiner Dissertation " Sur la théorie de la réflexion et de la réfraction de la lumière " die Brechung und Reflexion des Lichtes. Nachdem er 1877 eine Professur auf den mathematischen Lehrstuhl in Utrecht ablehnte nahm er 1878 einen Ruf auf den ersten niederländischen Lehrstuhl für theoretische Physik an der Universität Leiden an. Im Jahr 1892 formuliert Hendrik Antoon Lorentz eine modellhafte Theorie der Leitfähigkeit und der magnetischen Eigenschaften von Metallen, welche von der Existenz beweglicher negativer Ladungsträger in den Metallen ausgeht. Sie wird später als Elektronentheorie bezeichnet. 1895 führt er die nach ihm benannte Lorentz-Kraft ein.

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz Uma atitude muito comum quando se analisa o progresso científico é a tendência a condicioná-lo unicamente ao surgimento cíclico de gênios individuais. É certo que a contribuição isolada de um pesquisador pode ser decisiva em determinado momento histórico, mas ela é necessariamente condicionada à existência de um background de conhecimentos, reunidos por outros estudiosos. Assim, dizer que a Newton se deveu a criação da mecânica clássica é dizer apenas meia verdade: ele é, inegavelmente, um marco, pois com ele muitas etapas foram queimadas; mas não se deve esquecer que sua figura está ligada ao pano de fundo formado pelos pesquisadores que o antecederam (o que, de modo algum, diminui sua estatura). Da mesma forma, a obra de Albert Einstein baseou-se em conhecimentos anteriores da física, mesmo se para revisá-los. E como precursor do criador da teoria da relatividade, destaca-se Hendrik A. Lorentz. Lorentz viveu numa época de grande importância para a física: nela ocorreu desde o surgimento da teoria atômica da matéria à penetração na estrutura do átomo até o núcleo. Thomson, ao mostrar que o átomo contém elétrons, e Becquerel, descobrindo a radiatividade, abriram caminho para os estudos das relações entre a química e a física. Já se efetuavam experiências de aceleração de elétrons, e havia a certeza de que o mesmo poderia ser feito com outras partículas eletricamente carregadas. Pouco a pouco, descobriam-se novas propriedades da matéria.
