Hendrik Lorentz (1853-1928)
Of all the scientists associated with the International Institutes founded by Ernest Solvay, Hendrik Lorentz is the one who will play the most important role.
Five Solvay Conferences take place under the presidency of Hendrik Lorentz from 1911 to 1927. They are key events in the development of the quantum revolution, the ‘golden age’ of modern physics.
