Ever hear of Hilbert?
- mixmax 19y agoYes - and Hilberts contribution to general relativity theory primarily sprung from a seminar held in 1915 where Einstein and Hilbert elaborated on the theory, leading among other things to the Einstein field equations and Einstein-Hilbert action. What this means is that Hilbert helped elaborate on the theory, and worked out some of the kinks. Not to dismiss Hilbert, but the idea was Einsteins' and his alone.
