| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 25 March 1895 |
| Description | Fitzgerald has been trying for years to bring out the electromagnetic interpretation of [Hermann von] Helmholtz and the host of dispersion theorists. Resonance theories are the only possible ones. Fitzgerald believes in electrons; he thinks that Helmholtz 'invented equations to get the results'. In a postscript, he states that he tried the mercury experiment again, with the same result. |
