| Title | Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], 2 Grove Park, Liverpool, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 22 September 1898 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for a prompt reply. He has sent the proof to the Philosophical Magazine, but if they send him anything to revise, he will send Larmor a copy so it may have the benefit of his last words. Lodge will be glad to try rotating quartz if he could justified with a positive result; he is tired of negative ones. It would not convince people of electrons and nothing else as perhaps it should. Kelvin does not believe in Maxwell's pressure, thinking that in Maxwell's chapter, the mathematics is all wrong. Kelvin dislikes electrons and all hyperdynamical theories. Kelvin would not see the similarity with ordinary Faraday negative repulsion. Lodge comments on Larmor';s magnetic energy intensity from a moving electron. He has not mastered Larmor's extract wholly, but returns it for safety and agrees with Larmor's position. |
