Lecture 6

The Lorentz Force Law1

Art: Lenny, who is that dignified gentleman with the beard and wire-frame glasses?

Lenny: Ah, the Dutch uncle. That’s Hendrik. Would you like to meet him?

Art: Sure, is he a friend of yours?

Lenny: Art, they’re all friends of mine. Come on, I’ll introduce you.

Art Friedman, meet my friend Hendrik Lorentz.

Poor Art, he’s not quite prepared for this.

Art: Lorentz? Did you say Lorentz? Oh my God! Are you? Is he? Are you really, are you really the …”

Dignified as always, HL bows deeply.

Lorentz: Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, at your service.

Later a star-struck Art quietly asks, Lenny, is that really the Lorentz? The one who discovered Lorentz transformations?

Lenny: Sure he is, and a lot more than that. Bring me a napkin and a pen and I’ll tell you about his force law.
