Whether it is true or not that not more than twelve persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. Hendrik Lorentz

The Newtonian theory can no longer be regarded as absolutely correct in all cases. Hendrik Lorentz
The Newtonian theory can no longer be regarded as absolutely correct in all cases.
The equations on which the theory of relativity is based are due to Lorentz, but Einstein connected them with his general principle, namely, that there must be nothing. Hendrik Lorentz

When the current alternates many million times per second, almost the whole of the interior of the wire must, according to theory, appear free from current, and the flow must confine itself to the very skin of the wire. Heinrich Hertz

If we wish to lend more color to the theory, there is nothing to prevent us from supplementing all this and aiding our powers of imagination by concrete representations of the various conceptions as to the nature of electric polarisation. Heinrich Hertz

Maxwell's theory is Maxwell's system of equations. Heinrich Hertz
Maxwell's theory is Maxwell's system of equations.
From the outset Maxwell's theory excelled all others in elegance and in the abundance of the relations between the various phenomena which it included. Heinrich Hertz

In theory, thyroid therapy appears to be the least well-founded, especially when applied to women without manifest signs of hypothyroidism, yet among the measures mentioned above it is most frequently claimed to have been successful. Hans Selye

If the theory of relativity had also been necessary for salvation, it would have been revealed to Saint Paul or to Moses. Georges Lemaître

If the future development of quantum theory happens to turn in that direction, we could conceive the beginning of the universe in the form of a unique atom, the atomic weight of which is the total mass of the universe. Georges Lemaître

As far as I see, such a theory [of the primeval atom] remains entirely outside any metaphysical or religious question. It leaves the materialist free to deny any transcendental Being. Georges Lemaître

My object will be, first, to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect. Georges Cuvier
