Product details
The book "Minkowski Spacetime: A Hundred Years Later" is a comprehensive tribute to the centenary of Hermann Minkowski's groundbreaking essay "Space and Time" from 1909. Minkowski's work on the spacetime representation of special relativity has significantly shaped the physics of the twentieth century and is essential for modern physical thinking. Despite the widespread recognition of the mathematical significance of spacetime in theoretical physics, there has been no consensus on the ontological nature of spacetime for a century. This book offers an in-depth exploration of Minkowski's ideas and their physical significance, particularly for relativists. It includes an excellent retranslation of Minkowski's original work as well as its German version and features fourteen contributions divided into three thematic sections: the historical impact of Minkowski's spacetime on twentieth-century physics, the implications for theoretical physics, and the conceptual and philosophical questions surrounding Minkowski spacetime.
