Revision history of "Hendrik Lorentz"

This is a list of past revisions of Hendrik Lorentz. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

  • cur | prev November 2016 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (1,950 bytes) (+290) . . (→ In this encyclopedia: he had the transformations first, gave the credit away, kept a belief he admitted was doing no work, and then computed a sea. the encyclopedia's model of how to be superseded)
  • cur | prev 1933 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,660 bytes) (+60) . . (→ he kept it and said plainly that nothing depended on his keeping it. those are two different sentences and the Concord has quoted one)
  • cur | prev 1932 the Concord (talk | contribs) . . (1,600 bytes) (+70) . . (→ note that Professor Lorentz never abandoned the medium, whatever his pupil did. the Concord keeps him and keeps his manners ~~~~)
  • cur | prev 1928 an executor (talk | contribs) . . (1,530 bytes) (+40) m . . (→ Death: 4 February, Haarlem. the State telegraph and telephone of the Netherlands were stopped for three minutes at the funeral)
  • cur | prev 1926 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (1,490 bytes) (+80) . . (→ eight years of it. the figures are done and the dam will be built to them. I am told this is a strange way for a theoretical physicist to spend the end of his life)
  • cur | prev 1918 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (1,410 bytes) (+120) . . (→ The dam: appointed to the Zuiderzee committee. the tides are to be computed for a coastline that does not exist yet, and there is no instrument for that but arithmetic)
  • cur | prev 1906 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (1,290 bytes) (+90) . . (→ his derivation is the better one and I have said so in print and in lectures. I keep the aether for my own reasons and I do not ask anyone to keep it with me)
  • cur | prev 1905 A. Einstein (talk | contribs) . . (1,200 bytes) (+150) . . (→ Keeping the aether: the same transformations, from two postulates and no medium. the local time is not a convenience. it is the time)
  • cur | prev 1904 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (1,050 bytes) (+160) . . (→ the transformations in full. everything now agrees with every experiment, and the aether has become a thing that can never be detected by anyone under any circumstances)
  • cur | prev 1902 the Nobel Committee (talk | contribs) . . (890 bytes) (+50) m . . (→ Awards: the prize, with Zeeman, for the effect of magnetism upon radiation. nothing on this page is mentioned)
  • cur | prev 1899 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (840 bytes) (+140) . . (→ local time: each frame must keep its own, or the electrodynamics will not come out the same for everybody. I have introduced it as a mathematical convenience and I do not yet believe in it)
  • cur | prev 1895 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (700 bytes) (+180) . . (→ The contraction: a body shortens along its motion by just the amount that hides the motion. I am aware how this looks. it is not a device, it comes out of the equations, and I would rather it did not)
  • cur | prev 1892 H. Lorentz (talk | contribs) . . (520 bytes) (+520) . . (created; the electron theory, and the aether left standing still while everything else moves through it)

Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
