Oliver Joseph Lodge (1851-1940)

Lodge was a British physicist.
He carried out experiments to produce and detect the electromagnetic radiation predicted by Maxwell in 1864.
In 1881, he became professor of physics at Liverpool University, where he carried out his experiments on electromagnetic waves and later worked to improve the reception of radio signals.
In 1900, he became the first principal of Birmingham University, and retired in 1919 because he wanted to study 'psychic phenomena'.
He strongly opposed Einstein's theory of general relativity in its early years.
