The 19 pages that link to Minkowski spacetime, each with the reason it gives.

• General relativityRelated: Einstein’s gravitational theory generalizes this flat geometry to curved spacetime.

• Special relativityNarrower topic: It expresses the theory's transformations as symmetries of spacetime geometry.

• Hendrik LorentzRelated: Minkowski’s formulation gave Lorentz transformations a geometric interpretation.

• SpacetimeBroader topic: It provides the simplest spacetime geometry, without gravity or curvature.

• Galilean transformationCompared with: Its invariant spacetime interval contrasts with Newtonian space and absolute time.

• Hermann MinkowskiBroader topic: Minkowski introduced this geometric framework in his 1908 lecture on space and time.

• Klein–Gordon equationNarrower topic: The equation’s derivative structure is defined by the geometry of flat relativistic spacetime.

• Lorentz factorNarrower topic: Its interval geometry underlies the transformations in which γ appears.

• Four-vectorNarrower topic: Its metric defines the invariant norm shared by all four-vectors.

• Lorentz covarianceRelated: Its invariant geometry is what Lorentz transformations preserve.

• Lorentz groupNarrower topic: The Lorentz group acts as a symmetry group of this spacetime.

• Energy–momentum relationRelated: The equation is the energy–momentum counterpart of a spacetime invariant.

• Penrose diagramRelated: Its causal structure provides the simplest setting for interpreting a Penrose diagram.

• Spacetime diagramNarrower topic: The diagram depicts selected dimensions of this underlying spacetime.

• Poincaré groupNarrower topic: The Poincaré group is precisely its group of isometries.

• Relativistic mechanicsRelated: Its geometry unifies spatial and temporal measurements in relativistic dynamics.

• De Sitter universeCompared with: It lacks the positive curvature and exponential expansion of De Sitter space.

• Positive energy theoremRelated: It is the equality case: zero total energy occurs only for flat spacetime.

• Geodesics in general relativityCompared with: Its inertial geodesics are straight, unlike paths shaped by curved spacetime.
