Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Minkowski, Hermann (1864-1909) A German mathematician, born in Lithuania, who played an important part in the early development of relativity theory . Minkowski was the first to realize that the work of Hendrik Lorentz and Albert Einstein could be best understood if space and time , formerly thought to be separate entities, were treated as part of a four-dimensional spacetime with a non-Euclidean geometry . The concept of the spacetime continuum, which provided a framework for all later mathematical work in relativity, appeared in Minkowski's book Raum und Zeit (1907). From 1896 to 1902, Minkowski taught at the Zurich Federal Institute of Technology when Einstein was a student. In fact, Einstein attended several of the courses he gave but didn't create a good impression at the time. Minkowski described him as a "lazy dog" who "never bothered about mathematics at all." In 1902, Minkowski accepted a chair at the University of Göttingen, where he stayed for the rest of his life. His main interest was in pure mathematics, including number theory and geometry, and it was through his understanding of the more abstract side of mathematics and geometry in more than three dimensions that he developed the idea of four-dimensional spacetime.

Hermann Minkowski was born in Russia, and educated in Germany. He was one of Einstein's teachers at Zuerich, and later invented "Minkowski Space" for expressing Einstein's theory of special relativity. He joined the Mathematics Department of Goettingen and became one of the close colleagues of David Hilbert there in 1902. The beginning part of his address delivered at the 80th Assembly of German Natural Scientists and Physicians (September 21, 1908) is now famous: The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have aprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality. That is his four-dimensional space where time and 3-space intermingle, and the Lorentz Geometry of spacial relativity can be nicely represented. This nice representation certaily helped Einstein's quest for general relativity. Although some people still follow Einstein's misleading terminology that a Minkowski space is Euclidean in a way, this writer would recommend the following terminology instead: The spacetime geometry expressed by a Minkowski space should be called the "Lorentz

Hermann Minkowski Nacido el 22 de junio de 1864, en Alexotas, Rusia Imperial (ahora Kaunas, Lusitania), Fallecido el 12 de junio de 1909 , en Göttingen, Alemania. Hermann Minkowski.- , estudió en las universidades de Berlín y de Königsberg. Recibió su doctorado de Königsberg en 1885. Enseñó en varias universidades, Bonn, Königsberg, y en el Instituto Politécnico de Zurich, donde fue profesor de Albert Einstein en varios de los cursos que él impartió en ese establecimiento educacional. A contar desde 1902, Minkowski fue profesor en la Universidad de Göttingen, en donde él permanecía por el resto de su vida. En Göttingen él aprendió física-matemática con Hilbert y su equipo. En 1905, participó en un seminario sobre la teoría del electrón, donde aprendió sobre los últimos descubrimientos y resultados obtenidos sobre esta materia, y sobre las teorías electrodinámicas. En 1907, expuso la idea de que tanto los trabajos de Lorentz como de Einstein podían ser descritos mejor si se consideraba un espacio no euclidiano. Pensaba que tanto el espacio como el tiempo, que en esos años eran considerados desagregados, constituían juntos un espaciotiempo cuadridimensional (tres dimensiones más el tiempo). Minkowski tenía experiencia en resolver fenómenos en cuatro dimensiones. Había trabajado en tratamientos tetradimensionales en asuntos relacionados con la electrodinámica. Sus trabajos más importantes en esta área son: Raum und Seit (1907) y Zwei Abhandlungen die Grundgleichungen der Elektrodynamik
