Hermann Minkowski citáty

Hermann Minkowski bol nemecký matematik židovského pôvodu, ktorý vytvoril geometrickú teóriu čísel a používal geometrické metódy na riešenie zložitých problémov v teórii čísel, matematickej fyzike a geometricky interpretoval špeciálnu teóriu relativity pomocou Minkowského časopriestoru. Od roku 1893 bol profesorom v Bonne, od roku 1894 v Königsbergu, od roku 1896 v Zürichu a od roku 1902 v Göttingene. Wikipedia

Hermann Minkowski: Citáty v angličtine

“The word postulate of relativity… appears to me very stale… I should rather like to give this statement the name Postulate of the absolute world”

Hermann Minkowski Space and Time

or briefly, world-postulate
Space and Time (1909), Tr. Ganesh Prasad in: Bulletin of the Calcutta

“The assumption of the contraction of the electron in Lorentz's theory must be introduced at an earlier stage than Lorentz has actually done.”

The Fundamental Equations for Electromagnetic Processes in Moving Bodies (1907)

“Many authors say that classical mechanics stand in opposition to the relativity postulate, which is taken to be the basic of the new Electro-dynamics”

“It came as a tremendous surprise, for in his student days Einstein had been a lazy dog… He never bothered about mathematics at all.”

as quoted in a conversation with Max Born about the development of the theory of relativity, by Carl Seelig, Albert Einstein: A Documentary Biography (1956)

“It would be very unsatisfactory if the new way of looking at the time-concept, which permits a Lorentz transformation, were to be confined to a single part of Physics.”

“Oh, that Einstein, always cutting lectures… I really would not believe him capable of it.”

as quoted by Dennis Overbye, Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance (2001) referring to the development of the theory of relativity
