The Vásárosnaményi Baron Eötvös family (Bereg county, NE-Hungary) Great-great-grandfather: Miklós Eötvös (1716‒1783): General of theCavalry, Baronfrom 1786 Great-grandfather: Ignác Eötvös (1763‒1838): Doctor of Arts, Royal Majesty, Under-Sheriff Grandfather: Ignác Eötvös (1786‒1851): Doctor of Philosophy and Law, Treasurer Master, Vice-Chancellor Father: József Eötvös (1813‒1871): Lawyer, Writer, Ministerof Public Education and Religion, Presidentof theAcademy Mother: Ágnes Rosty (1821‒1913), Daughter of Albert Rosty (1779–1847) Unter-Sheriff in Békés Father: József Eötvös (1813‒1871) József Eötvös and Ágnes Rostymarriedin 1842 and had fourchildren: Ilona (1846‒1924), Jolán (1847‒1909), Loránd (1848‒1919), Mária (1851‒1928)
Loránd wasbornin Buda, 27 July, 1848 „Ambitionand sense of duty, whichbindsnotonlyto a privilegednation, buttothewhole of mankind, werebornwithme. Tosatisfythesetwoaspirations, and tosatisfymyindividualindependence is my life goal; and atleastso far I'vefoundthat I canansweritthe most if I enter thescientificcareer.” Fromtheletter of Roland Eötvös tohisfather 28 March, 1866 József Eötvös withhisson Vasárnapi Újság (Sunday News), 1860

History: 1891: thefirstfieldexperimentbyusingtheprime (laboratory version) Eötvös torsion balance(Ság hill) The field version of the torsion balancebecamereadyin 1898 (knownasthe „Balaton” balance) The frozen Balaton (in 1901 and 1903) offered an ideal test area Gradients of subsurfaceorigin „Deviatingforce” R of subsurfaceorigin The „Balaton” torsion balance ”…the gradients perpendicular to the axis of the Balaton and the deviatingforces parallel to the axis indicate a tectonic line in this direction” Eötvös (1908) „TwoHungarianscientists indanger of life”

Baron Eötvös’ truths on gravitational force and surface tension will remain in a thousand years as true and valuable they are today, even when our actual concepts for the gravity and for the smallest parts of the matter would happen to be eliminated. ” Sándor Mikola, 1929 „So, finally, we must rest assured that science does not give the true explanation of natural phenomena, but only leads to the border where the elusive begins.” Eötvös, 1877
