Oliver Lodge
Sir Oliver Lodge (1851–1940) was a British physicist and writer known for his contributions to both science and spiritualism. He made significant advances in electromagnetism and radio waves, and was involved in early experiments with wireless communication.

His notable works include "Raymond, or Life and Death," where he detailed his beliefs in communication with the dead, and "The Survival of Man," which examined the possibility of life after death.
