Hermann Minkowski Frasi e Citazioni

“D'ora in poi lo spazio di per se stesso e il tempo di per se stesso sono condannati a svanire in pure ombre, e solo una specie di unione tra i due concetti conserverà una realtà indipendente.”

Hermann Minkowski

Origine: Da una conferenza del 1908; citato in Fritjof Capra, Il Tao della fisica, traduzione di Giovanni Salio, Adelphi, 2010, p. 195.

Hermann Minkowski: Frasi in inglese

“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 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.”

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

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

“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)

“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.”

“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.”

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

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.”
