On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron.

The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour.

Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets.

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron.

Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time.

We must speak truth to power and confront ignorance with facts.

A successful father is not more successful than his children.

I didn't know you had a cat!' she excl

I would describe a hero as a person who has no fear of life, who can face life squarely.

As a public person, I've always tried to reflect what is embodied in our defining ideals as a nation about equality and fairness and justice and so forth.

We think that a powerful and vigorous movement is impossible without differences - "true conformity" is possible only in the cemetery.

I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.

I love a good Slash guitar riff. It's sexy!

All universal moral principles are idle fancies.
