1865 - Born in Zonnemaire, a small village in the isle of Schouwen, Zeeland, The Netherlands; birth of a Dutch physicist
1885 - He studied at Leyden University
1890 - He was appointed as an assistant of Lorentz and became involved in an extensive research.
1892 - Came up with his first treatise Mesures relatives du phenomene de Kerr, which bagged him a Gold Medal from the Dutch Society of Sciences at Haarlem
1893 - He earned his doctor's degree and left for F. Kohlrausch's institute at Strasbourg
1894 - He returned to Leyden University
1895-1897 - Worked as a "privaat-docent" (extra-mural lecturer)
- married Johanna Elisabeth Lebret
1896 - He discovered the splitting of spectral lines of elements by strong magnetic fields known today as the 'Zeeman Effect'
1898 - He became a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Amsterdam
1902 - He received a Nobel Prize for physics with Lorentz
1912-1920 - Served as a Secretary of the Mathematical-Physical Section
1920 - He developed the so-called “anomalous Zeeman effect,” another magnetic splitting case which couldn't be explained until the time that the quantum mechanics came in.
