Hendrik Lorentz

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (18 July 1853 ? 4 February 1928) was a Dutch physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect. He also derived the transformation equations subsequently used by Albert Einstein to describe space and time.In 1853, Albert Einstein wrote of Lorentz:aa"For me personally he meant more than all the others I have met on my life's journey." High praise indeed!
