Max Abraham is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; early electron theory and electromagnetic mass
Max Abraham was a theoretical physicist who developed one of the first models of the electron as a rigid charged sphere and introduced the concept of electromagnetic mass, shaping debates about the structure of matter before relativity. His textbook on electromagnetism was a standard for a generation, even as he remained a sharp critic of Einstein's theory. He was born into a Jewish merchant family in Danzig.
