>“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.”? Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, The Einstein Theory of Relativity A Concise Statement
>“The equations on which the theory of relativity is based are due to Lorentz, but Einstein connected them with his general principle, namely, that there must be nothing, in observable phenomena, which could be attributed to absolute motion of the observer.”? Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, The Einstein Theory of Relativity
>“It is comprehensible that a person could not have arrived at such a far-reaching change of view by continuing to follow the old beaten paths, but only by introducing some sort of new idea. Indeed, Einstein arrived at his theory through a train of thought of great originality.”? Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, The Einstein Theory of Relativity
Here's some quotes from Lorentz, the guy Einstein 'stole' his work from, praising Einstein and his theory.
