1. FitzGerald
   George Francis FitzGerald. Born 3 Aug 1851 in Killo -the Grange, Monkstown, Co. GeorgeFitzGerald s parents were William FitzGerald and Anne Frances Stoney.

   Extractions: George FitzGerald was a brilliant mathematical physicist who today is known by most scientists as one of the proposers of the FitzGerald- Lorentz contraction in the theory of relativity. However, this suggestion by FitzGerald, as we shall see below, was not in the area in which he undertook most of his research, and he would certainly not have rated this his greatest contribution. George FitzGerald's parents were William FitzGerald and Anne Frances Stoney. His father William was a minister in the Irish Protestant Church and rector of St Ann's Dublin at the time of George's birth. William, although having no scientific interests himself, was an intellectual who went on to become Bishop of Cork and later Bishop of Killaloe. It seems that George's later interest in metaphysics came from his father's side of the family. George's mother was the daughter of George Stoney from Birr in King's County and she was also from an intellectual family. George Johnstone Stoney, who was Anne's brother, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and George FitzGerald's liking for mathematics and physics seems to have come mainly from his mother's side of the family.

   Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page George FitzGerald 's early education was at home where George together with his brothers and sisters were tutored by George Boole 's sister. He entered Trinity College Dublin at the age of 16 and graduated in 1871 as the best student in both mathematics and experimental science. He became a tutor at Trinity College Dublin in 1877 and professor there in 1881. FitzGerald made major contributions to developments in electromagnetic theory. In 1889, two years after the Michelson-Morley experiment, FitzGerald suggested that the shrinkage of a body due to motion at speeds close to that of light would account for the result of that experiment. Lorentz , independently in 1895, gave a much more detailed description of the same kind. The FitzGerald- Lorentz contraction plays an important role in relativity. FitzGerald was the first to suggest a method of producing radio waves and so helped to lay the basis of wireless telegraphy.

He proposed a mechanical ether model involving wheels and runner bands. He also suggested that matter was composed of closed vortex rings. Independently of Lorentz , he suggested the null result of the Michelson Morley experiment resulted from a contraction of the arms of the interferometer in the direction of the Earth's motion.

He is best known for suggesting how the ether , by causing the contraction of bodies moving through it, could account for the null results of the Michelson-Morley experiment (see relativity ). His main research effort, however, was to work out the consequences of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory for phenomena not considered by Maxwell, such as the reflection and refraction of light.

    Extractions: GEORGE S. FITZGERALD GEORGE S. FITZGERALD, son of John and Jane (Spratlen) Fitzgerald natives of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, was born 10 November 1824 in Stokes County, North Carolina. He returned to Pittsylvania County when about twelve years old. His mother died about 1828 and his father married again in 1831. Then before 1835, his father died. In 1834/35 Walter Fitzgerald, his uncle in Danville, VA, was named legal guardian for George and six of his siblings. George S. Fitzgerald, the eighth child of ten, married Sarah B. Pritchett 12 December 1849, in Danville, Virginia, signed for by the mother of the bride, Eliza M. Pritchett. Rev. Samuel J. Spotts performed the ceremony and signed as bondsman. Sarah, the daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Inge) Pritchett of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, was born 7 February 1829. Her sister, Julie Pritchett, was the wife of Rev. Samuel J. Spotts. In 1857 George and Sarah and their four young children, ranging in ages From one to six, were among those forming a wagon train to make a new home in Texas. Others in this group were many of the families making up the membership of Virginia Point Methodist Episcopal Church, and most were related to Sarah by blood or marriage. George settled his family on a farm near Ambrose, not far from Red River and began farming. Upon awaking one morning and putting his feet to the floor only to find them covered with water, George decided to move his family to higher ground. He bought more land about three miles north of Bells, and began cutting oak trees that grew on his land for timber for his new home.

    Extractions: George Francis FitzGerald : 1851 - 1901 George Francis FitzGerald, (b. Aug. 3, 1851, Dublind. Feb. 22, 1901, Dublin), physicist who first suggested a method of producing radio waves, thus helping to lay the basis of wireless telegraphy. He also developed a theory, now known as the Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction, which Einstein used in his own special theory of relativity. FitzGerald became a tutor at Trinity College in Dublin in 1877 and professor of natural and experimental philosophy in 1881. From his studies of radiation he concluded that an oscillating electric current would produce electromagnetic waves. This finding was later verified experimentally by Heinrich R. Hertz of Germany and used in the development of wireless telegraphy. Independently of Hendrik A. Lorentz of The Netherlands, FitzGerald studied the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment (1887) and arrived at a similar conclusion. The experiment was an attempt to measure the Earth's motion relative to the pervasive luminiferous ether postulated as the medium within which light waves were propagated. The attempt failed to detect any such motion. In 1892 FitzGerald suggested that when in motion, a body is shorter (along its line of motion) than when at rest and that such a shortening, or contraction, affects the instruments used in the experiment. Lorentz arrived at this idea independently in 1895 and developed it considerably.

    Extractions: Fitzgerald, George Irish physicist known for his work on electromagnetics. In 1892 he explained the anomalous results of the Michelson-Morley experiment 1887 by supposing that bodies moving through the ether contracted as their velocity increased, an effect since known as the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction. Fitzgerald predicted that a rapidly oscillating (that is, alternating) electric current should result in the radiation of electromagnetic waves - a prediction proved correct in the late 1880s by Heinrich Hertz's early experiments with radio, which Fitzgerald brought to the attention of the scientific community in Britain.
