Hermann Minkowski (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/ ming-KAWF-skee, - KOF-; [2] German: [mɪŋˈkɔfski]; 22 June 1864 – 12 January 1909) was a mathematician and professor at the University of Königsberg, the University of Zürich, and the University of Göttingen, described variously as German, [3] [4] [5] Polish, [6] [7] [8] Lithuanian-German, [9] or Russian.

[p 11] Einstein was initially dismissive of Minkowski's geometric interpretation, regarding it as überflüssige Gelehrsamkeit (superfluous learnedness). As with special relativity, Einstein's early results in developing what was ultimately to become general relativity were accomplished using kinematic analysis rather than geometric techniques ...
The most well-known class of spacetime diagrams are known as Minkowski diagrams, developed by Hermann Minkowski in 1908. Minkowski diagrams are two-dimensional graphs that depict events as happening in a universe consisting of one space dimension and one time dimension. Unlike a regular distance-time graph, the distance is displayed on the ...

The Abraham–Minkowski controversy is a physics debate concerning electromagnetic momentum within dielectric media. [1] [2] Two equations were first suggested by Hermann Minkowski (1908) [3] and Max Abraham (1909) [4] [5] for this momentum. They predict different values, from which the name of the controversy derives. [6]
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-/ [1]) is the main mathematical description of spacetime in the absence of gravitation.
"Hermann Minkowski was born in Aleksotas, a village in Kaunas Governorate, part of Congress Poland "As far as I knwo, Aleksotas was not part of Kaunas Governorate and Kaunas Governorate was not situated in Congress Poland. Can anybody check this? --93.209.146.173 09:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
