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. William and Anne had three sons, George being the middle of the three. Maurice FitzGerald, one of George's two brothers, also went on to achieve academic success in the sciences, becoming Professor of Engineering at Queen's College Belfast. George's schooling was at home where, together with his brothers and sisters, he was tutored by M A Boole, who was George

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.

In 1892 he attempted to explain its failure to detect the proposed ether. He suggested that when in motion at speeds close to that of light, 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. Hendrik A. Lorentz of the Netherlands arrived at this idea independently in 1895 and developed it considerably , giving a much more detailed description.

Födelseland: Irland Födelseår: 1851 Död år: 1901 George Francis FitzGerald föddes på Irland år 1851. Han var den första som framförde den nu s k Fitzgerald-Lorentz kontraktionen som förklaring till nollresultatet vid Michelson-Morleys experiment. År 1899 fick han en Royal Medal av Royal Society för hans arbeten inom optik och elektrodynamik. Han var mycket uppfinningsrik (ungefär som Edward Teller) och hade en mycket skarp hjärna. Enligt Oliver Heaviside skulle det bara ha varit bra om han var lite dummare så att han inte skulle ha haft ett sådant överflöd av idéer. George FitzGerald dog år 1901.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality Irish Fitzgerald, George (1851-1901) Irish physicist who developed the theory of the ethereal plenum to incorporate Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light. 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.

A D V E N T U R E S in C Y B E R S O U N D 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.
