Answer
Minkowski space is a four-dimensional space where time is considered as one of the dimensions. It is named after the German mathematician Hermann Minkowski, who first developed it in 1907. In Minkowski space, time is treated as a fourth dimension that is perpendicular to the three spatial dimensions. This is in contrast to the traditional view of space and time as separate entities.
