   Hermann Minkowski (1864–1909) found that the theory of special relativity could be best understood as a four-dimensional space, since known as the Minkowski spacetime.. In mathematical physics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/) combines inertial space and time manifolds with a non-inertial reference frame of space and time into a four ...

   Jun 22, 2021 · Hermann Minkowski was a German mathematician who developed the geometry of numbers and used it to solve problems in number theory, mathematical physics, and the theory of relativity. He showed that space and time are coupled together in a four-dimensional space-time continuum, as Einstein later used in his special theory of relativity.
