释义
Minkowski, Hermann (1864–1909)

Mathematics
  • born in Lithuania of German parents, a close friend of Hilbert, who made significant contributions to the development of relativity and obtained important results in number theory.


Astronomy
  • born in modern Lithuania. He was the first to see that the principle of relativity set out by the Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853–1928) and A. Einstein implied that space and time were not separate entities, but components of a four-dimensional spacetime. His mathematical model of spacetime provided the foundation for all subsequent developments of relativity, and allowed Einstein to move from special to general relativity.


Statistics
  • Minkowski moved to Germany in 1872 and was educated at U Königsberg, gaining his PhD in 1885. His academic career took him successively to posts at U Bonn (1885), U Zürich (1896), and U Göttingen (1902). Minkowski had a passion for pure mathematics and his work underpinned that of Einstein on relativity.
