    Max Born (German: [ˈmaks ˈbɔʁn] ⓘ ... Born and Minkowski got along well, and their work made good progress, but Minkowski died suddenly of appendicitis on 12 ...

  3. Hermann Minkowski - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Minkowski

    Max Born delivered the obituary on behalf of the mathematics students at Göttingen. [17] David Hilbert's obituary of Minkowski illustrates the deep friendship between the two mathematicians: Since my student years, Minkowski was my best, most dependable friend who supported me with all the depth and loyalty that was so characteristic of him.

  4. Born coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_coordinates

    In relativistic physics, the Born coordinate chart is a coordinate chart for (part of) Minkowski spacetime, the flat spacetime of special relativity. It is often used to analyze the physical experience of observers who ride on a ring or disk rigidly rotating at relativistic speeds , so called Langevin observers .

  5. Hyperbolic motion (relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion_(relativity)

    In the context of Born rigidity, Max Born (1909) subsequently coined the term "hyperbolic motion" (German: Hyperbelbewegung) for the case of constant magnitude of four-acceleration, then provided a detailed description for charged particles in hyperbolic motion, and introduced the corresponding "hyperbolically accelerated reference system ...

  6. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    Max Born (1920) drew Minkowski diagrams by placing the ct′-axis almost perpendicular to the x-axis, as well as the ct-axis to the x′-axis, in order to demonstrate length contraction and time dilation in the symmetric case of two rods and two clocks moving in opposite direction. [19]

  7. Rindler coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindler_coordinates

    Born coordinates, for another important coordinate system adapted to the motion of certain accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime. Congruence (general relativity) Ehrenfest paradox, for a sometimes controversial subject often studied using Born coordinates. Frame fields in general relativity; General relativity resources; Milne model

  8. University of Göttingen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Göttingen

    Many of Prandtl's students went on to make fundamental contributions to aerodynamics. Between 1921 and 1933, the physics theory group was led by Max Born, who, during this time, became one of the three discoverers of the non-relativistic theory of quantum mechanics. He may also have been the first to propose its probabilistic relationship with ...

    The End of the Certain World: The Life and Science of Max Born is a biography of Max Born by Nancy Thorndike Greenspan that was initially published in 2005 by Basic Books.It was the first book-length biography of Born, a Nobel laureate and one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
