   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 physics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/) is the main mathematical description of spacetime in the absence of gravitation.

   Why was Hermann Minkowski important?

   • Hermann Minkowski laid the mathematical foundation of the theory of relativity and developed an entirely new view of space and time. He made clear that Lorentz’ and Einstein’s work could be better understood in a non-euclidean space.
