Гуннар Нордстрем всемирно известный финский физик, имя которого, мало известно на родине в Финляндии. Он не упоминается в школьных учебниках. Подходы Нордстрема были достаточно смелы и достойны внимания. С полным основанием мы можем назвать его финнским Эйнштейном.

 

В 1917году Нордстрём женился на Корнелии ван Лиувен.

 

 

Nordström then moved to [[Göttingen]], [[Germany]], where he had been recommended to go to study physical chemistry. However, he soon lost interest in the intended field and moved to study electrodynamics, a field the [[University of Göttingen]] was renowned for at the time.<ref name="Eva Isaksson" /> He returned to Finland to complete his doctoral dissertation at the University of Helsinki in 1910, and become a docent at the university. Subsequently he became fascinated with the very novel and soon burgeoning field of gravitation and wanted to move to the [[Netherlands]] where scientists with contributions to that fields such as [[Hendrik Lorentz]], [[Paul Ehrenfest]] and [[Willem de Sitter]] were active. Nordström was able to move to [[Leiden]] in 1916 to work under Ehrenfest, in the midst of the First World War, due to his Russian passport. Nordström spent considerable time in Leiden where he met a Dutch physics student, Cornelia van Leeuwen, with whom he went on to have several children.<ref name=HY>http://www.helsinki.fi/keskusarkisto/virkamiehet_2/H-O.pdf - List of faculty at the university of Helsinki, Helsinki University Central archive.
