Hendrik Antoon Lorentz 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 which formed the basis of the special relativity theory of Albert Einstein.According to the biography published by the Nobel Foundation, “It may well be said that Lorentz was regarded by all theoretical physicists as the world’s leading spirit, who completed what was left unfinished by his predecessors and prepared the ground for the fruitful reception of the new ideas based on the quantum theory.” For this he received many honours and distinctions during his life, includingโfrom 1925 to his death in 1928โthe role of Chairman of the exclusive International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation.
