Paul Langevin, a prominent French physicist, is celebrated for his pioneering work in Langevin dynamics and the Langevin equation. He played a crucial role in anti-fascist movements by establishing the Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes. Despite enduring persecution for his resistance to fascism during World War II, Langevin remained a steadfast advocate for human rights, serving as the president of the Human Rights League. His collaboration with Pierre Curie resulted in patents for ultrasonic submarine detection. Today, Langevin’s remarkable contributions are commemorated through his entombment at the Panthéon.
