In physics and mathematics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) is the mathematical setting in which Einsteins theory of special relativity is most conveniently formulated.
The idea of Minkowski space also led to special relativity being viewed in a more geometrical way, this geometric viewpoint of spacetime being important in general relativity too.
While spacetime can be viewed as a consequence of Albert Einsteins 1905 theory of special relativity, it is first explicitly proposed mathematically by one of his teachers, the mathematician Hermann Minkowski.
The term "theory of relativity" was coined by Max Planck to emphasize how special relativity (and later, general relativity) uses the principle of relativity
