On what is now called Minkowski spacetime :

  • Hermann Minkowski , Die Grundgleichungen fur die elektromagnetischen Vorgange in bewegten Korpern , Math. Ann. (1910) 68: 472, reprinted from: Nachrichten der Kgl. Ges. d. Wiss. zu Gottingen, Math.-phys. Kl., Sitzung vom 21. Dezember 1907 ( doi:10.1007/BF01455871 )

The views of space and time that 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 both will retain an independent reality.
