Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch physcist and a winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1902 for his theory of electromagnetic radiation.

Life

Lorentz laid the foundation of the Relativity theory, which must not be identified with Einsteinism. Concepts like Lorentz force and Lorentz Transformation bear his name.

Pro-Jewish promotors like Roback[1] want to make the Relativity theory Jewish. But Lorentz himself has stated that he is not Jewish[2]. This has disappointed Roback[3], but Roback then stated that Lorentz looks Jewish. [3].
