[2] He was born in Fehérvár (Alba Regia), Fejér County, Kingdom of Hungary to Jewish parents,[citation needed] Károly Lőwy and Adél Hahn.

"[4]: 20 In 1924 he discovered an exact solution of the Einstein field equation representing a cylindrically symmetric rigidly rotating configuration of dust particles.

It is one of the simplest known exact solutions in general relativity and is regarded as an important example, in part because it exhibits closed timelike curves.

[4]: 89  In 1952, he left the U.S. and moved to the School of Theoretical Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in Ireland, where he succeeded Erwin Schrödinger[5] and stayed until his death in 1974.

(As a matter of fact, similar claims can be made for several other mathematicians, including Carl Friedrich Gauss.[8]).
