The objects of our perception invariably include places...place except at a time, or a time except at a place. But I still respect the dogma that both space and time have independent significance.

...Minkowski justifies the rejection of space and time as two separate absolutes in the following terms: "The objects of our perception invariably include...place except at a time, or a time except at a place." 33 Minkowski goes on to denote by "world" the totality of values for all the spatial and temporal coordinates...

...four-dimensional continuum of space and time. He justified such formalization in the following terms: "The objects of our perception invariably include...noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place."3 Within the continuum, however, for time to stand on an equal footing with space it would have...

...by Einstein's work to how the relativity principle mixed up space and time, Minkowski commented that 'Nobody has ever noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place.' He had the idea that space and time belonged together in a far deeper sense than anyone had hitherto...

...famous lecture to a scientific gathering in Cologne in 1908. Following Einstein, Minkowski argued that 'nobody has ever noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place.' A point of space at a point of time he called a 'world-point', and the totality of all conceivable...

...three-dimensional space was now outdated: "The objects of our perception invariably include places and time in combination. Nobody has ever noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place."41 While declaring, "But I still respect the dogma that both space and time have independent...

...anticipated Hermann Minkowski's famous Cologne address of 1908 that contains the statement: "nobody ever noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place."75 But Hodgson, in contrast to Minkowski, did not merge time and space into a four-dimensional...

...1908 Minkowski began with a strictly factual observation, very much as Einstein had done previously: "Nobody has ever noticed a place except at a time, or a time except at a place... Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only...
