- not2b 5y agoLorentz and Poincare were very important in the development of special relativity. This article is about general relativity. For general relativity there's a good argument that David Hilbert deserves more credit.
- LudwigNagasena 5y agoAre Newton, Galileo, Coulomb and Archimedes more important to general relativity?
- not2b 5y agoThan Hilbert? No. Riemann, perhaps. Making it work was all about the proper non-Euclidean geometry. Einstein needed to learn the right mathematics.
