Péter Eötvös

Péter Eötvös was a Hungarian physicist renowned for his work on gravity and relativity. He developed highly sensitive instruments called Eötvös balances to measure tiny differences in gravitational pull, helping to test Einstein's theories and explore gravity’s properties. His research contributed significantly to our understanding of how gravity works and its role in the universe. Eötvös's precise experiments laid important groundwork in physics and geophysics, influencing scientific approaches to gravity measurement and our comprehension of fundamental physical laws.
