Quotes by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (?)

“Till now it was believed that time and space existed by themselves, even if there was nothing else--no sun, no earth, no stars--while now we know that time and space are not the vessel for the universe, but could not exist at all if there were no contents, namely, no sun, earth and other celestial bodies.”
― Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, The Einstein Theory of Relativity

“Einstein has put an end to this isolation; it is now well established that gravitation affects not only matter, but also light.”
