Hendrik Lorentz - Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (July 18, 1853, Arnhem – February 4, 1928, Haarlem) was a Dutch physicist and the winner of the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on electromagnetic radiation.
Lorentz transformation - A Lorentz transformation (LT) is a linear transformation that preserves the spacetime interval between any two events in Minkowski space, while leaving the origin fixed. The transformation describes how space and time coordinates are related as measured by observers in different inertial reference frames and are named after the Dutch physicist and mathematician Hendrik Lorentz (1853-1928).
Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction hypothesis - The Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction hypothesis was proposed by George FitzGerald and independently proposed and extended by Hendrik Lorentz to explain the negative result of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which attempted to detect Earth's motion relative to the luminiferous aether.
Adriaan Fokker - Adriaan Daniël Fokker (1887–1972) was a Dutch physicist and musician. Fokker, a cousin of the aeronautical engineer Anthony Fokker, studied mining technology at the University of Technology in Delft and physics at the University of Leiden with Hendrik Lorentz, where he earned his doctorate in 1913.
