Minkowski Space : : The Spacetime of Special Relativity /

Minkowski Space : : The Spacetime of Special Relativity / / Joachim Schröter.

In Minkowski-Space the space-time of special relativity is discussed on the basis of fundamental results of space-time theory. This idea has the consequence that the Minkowski-space can be characterized by 5 axioms, which determine its geometrical and kinematical structure completely. In this sense...
