The strength of the Lorentz is biography

His fate as a scientist during training at the University of Leiden more determined the reading of Maxwell’s works, very difficult for understanding and called by “intellectual jungle”. But the key to them, according to Lorenz, helped him to choose articles by Helmholtz, Frenel and Faradey. In the year, Gendrick passed the exams with honors, returns to Arnham and works as a teacher at the evening school.

At home, he creates a small laboratory, continuing to intensively study the works of Maxwell and Frenel. In the year, the Lorentz’s fundamental work “Experience of the theory of electrical and optical phenomena in moving bodies” came out, where Lorenz gives a systematic presentation of his electronic theory. The word "electron" is not yet found in it, but the elementary amount of electricity has already been called this name.

The scientist simply talks about the particles of matter that are charged with positively or negatively - ions and his theory, respectively, calls the “ionic theory”. In the year, Lorenz and his student Peter Zeeman become Nobel laureates. In his speech, when the Nobel Prize is presented, Lorenz said: “It is possible that on this long journey it itself will completely rebuild.” In the year, the Dutch Academy of Sciences establishes the "Golden Medal of Lorentz." At the ceremony, Lorenz said: “I am infinitely happy that I managed to make my modest contribution to the development of physics.

Our time has passed, but we handed over the baton in reliable hands. ” It was he who laid the cornerstones of this physics, created its methods of image and his labors will serve for the good and enlightenment of many more generations, ”Einstein said over the ashes of Lorentz. The Lorenz’s work style “take deep and strive for complete completeness” will serve, according to Max Planck, a model for future generations.

This was how Gendrick Lorenz - this "great classic of theoretical physics" remained in the memory of the descendants. Author: Alexey Alexandrovich Morozov is interesting?

I offered him a medicine, drinking - lemon juice, but I realized that that was not the point.

I guessed: “Your things? I said: "Master and Margarita"? He, delighted, made a sign with his head that "yes, this." And he squeezed out two words: “To know that they would know later, when she was ill, she was always afraid to die without fulfilling a promise.
