MINKOWSKI, HERMANN (1864–1909), German mathematician. Minkowski, who was born in Alexoten, Lithuania, was taken to Koenigsberg, Germany, by his parents when he was eight years old.

In the first part I will discuss Minkowski’s major and actual (not the widely shared) contribution – the discovery of the spacetime structure of the world, i.e., the discovery of spacetime physics itself.

A well-known figure in the field of mathematics and physics, Hermann Minkowski revolutionized the way we think about space and time with his four-dimensional space-time concept. He was also an …
