Unlike the other scientists listed, Lorentz's contributions to physics has not been made clear in other Doctor Who universe sources.
Though there are other claims to this achievement, he is often credited for having independently derived the , key to putting special relativity into practice, in 1892. He also derived the , important in the field of electromagnetism, in 1895.
