Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was a Dutch physicist renowned for his groundbreaking work in electromagnetism and his shared Nobel Prize in Physics. He, alongside Pieter Zeeman, received the award for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect. Lorentz's derivation of transformation equations, later interpreted by Albert Einstein as revealing the fundamental nature of space and time, solidified his pivotal role in the development of modern physics. His contributions underscore a profound understanding of the universe's core principles, articulated through rigorous mathematical formulation.






A collection of lectures on theoretical physics by the brilliant Dutch physicist, Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. Explore the concepts of electromagnetism, the principle of relativity, and the nature of light itself.
This collection, intended for a wider audience, contains new publications of three articles by Einstein: "What is the Theory of Relativity, " "A Brief Outline of the Development of the Theory of Relativity, " "The Problem of Space, Ether and the Field in Physics" and two small books: A. Einstein, Sidelights on Relativity, and H. A. Lorentz, The Einstein Theory of Relativity.
