Zitate Hermann Minkowski

„Um nirgends eine gähnende Leere zu lassen, wollen wir uns vorstellen, daß aller Orten und zu jeder Zeit etwas Wahrnehmbares vorhanden ist. Um nicht Materie oder Elektrizität zu sagen, will ich für dieses Etwas das Wort Substanz brauchen.“

— Hermann Minkowski

„„Es handelt sich, so kurz wie möglich ausgedrückt [... ] darum, daß die Welt in Raum und Zeit in gewissem Sinne eine vierdimensionale nichteuklidische Mannigfaltigkeit ist.“ - Das Relativitätsprinzip, in: Annalen der Physik, 352 (15), S. 927, 1907“

— Hermann Minkowski
veröffentlicht 1915

Über die Welt

„„M. H.! Die Anschauungen über Raum und Zeit, die ich Ihnen entwickeln möchte, sind auf experimentell-physikalischem Boden erwachsen. Darin liegt ihre Stärke. Ihre Tendenz ist eine radikale. Von Stund′ an sollen Raum für sich und Zeit für sich völlig zu Schatten herabsinken und nur noch eine Art Union der beiden soll Selbständigkeit bewahren.“ -“

— Hermann Minkowski

„By laying down the relativity postulate from the outset, sufficient means have been created for deducing henceforth the complete series of Laws of Mechanics from the principle of conservation of energy (and statements concerning the form of the energy) alone.“

— Hermann Minkowski

„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.“

— Hermann Minkowski

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

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

„The whole world appears resolved into such world-lines. And I should like to say beforehand that, according to my opinion, it would be possible for the physical laws to find their fullest expression as correlations of these world-lines.“

— Hermann Minkowski
Space and Time (1909), Tr. Ganesh Prasad in: Bulletin of the Calcutta

„H. A. Lorentz has found out the Relativity theorem and has created the Relativity postulate as a hypothesis that electrons and matter suffer contractions in consequence of their motion according to a certain law. A. Einstein has brought out the point very clearly, that this postulate is not an artificial hypothesis but is rather a new way of comprehending the time-concept, which is forced upon us by observation of natural phenomena.“

— Hermann Minkowski

„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 (or briefly, world-postulate).“

— Hermann Minkowski
Space and Time (1909), Tr. Ganesh Prasad in: Bulletin of the Calcutta

„The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth, space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality.“

— Hermann Minkowski
Address to the 80th Assembly of German Natural Scientists and Physicians, (Sep 21, 1908)

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

— Hermann Minkowski
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)

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

— Hermann Minkowski

„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“

— Hermann Minkowski

„The rigid electron is in my view a monster in relation to Maxwell's equations, whose innermost harmony is the principle of relativity.“

— Hermann Minkowski
as quoted by Dennis Overbye, Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance (2001)
