0-Minkowski

0-Introduction to Hermann Minkowski and spacetime (which is the essential visual element for the presentation).

This site is devoted to explore and present a didactic proposal for the teaching of the relativity theory in pre-university courses using the visual formulation established by Hermann Minkowski.

"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, 1908
