Why Is Paul Langevin Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Paul Langevin was a French physicist who developed Langevin dynamics and the Langevin equation. He was one of the founders of the Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes, an anti-fascist organization created after the 6 February 1934 far right riots. Being a public opponent of fascism in the 1930s resulted in his arrest and being held under house arrest by the Vichy government for most of World War II. Langevin was also president of the Human Rights League from 1944 to 1946, having recently joined the French Communist Party.
