Albert Einstein presented the theories of special relativity and general relativity in publications that either contained no formal references to previous literature, or referred only to a small number of his predecessors for fundamental results on which he based his theories, most notably to the work of Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz for special relativity, and to the work of David ...
Hilbert claimed priority for the introduction of the Riemann scalar into the action principle and the derivation of the field equations from it," [B 6] (Sauer mentions a letter and a draft letter where Hilbert defends his priority for the action functional) "and Einstein admitted publicly that Hilbert (and Lorentz) had succeeded in giving the ...
Special relativity priority dispute: Albert Einstein, Henri Poincaré, Hendrik Lorentz; General relativity priority dispute: Albert Einstein, David Hilbert; Chandrasekhar limit: Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Edmund Clifton Stoner, Wilhelm Anderson [8] Eightfold Way: Murray Gell-Mann, Yuval Ne'eman [9] [10]
It was also claimed that special relativity cannot handle acceleration, which would lead to contradictions in some situations. However, this assessment is not correct, since acceleration actually can be described in the framework of special relativity (see Acceleration (special relativity), Proper reference frame (flat spacetime), Hyperbolic motion, Rindler coordinates, Born coordinates).
One of the three white dwarfs, Sirius B, a companion to Sirius, was discovered by Walter Sydney Adams after a suggestion by Arthur Eddington to use the relativistic Doppler effect as predicted by special relativity. [2] In 1926, Eddington pointed out a problem with the models at the time which considered such dense matter as the lowest energy ...

But it was Minkowski's geometric model that (a) showed that the special relativity is a complete and internally self-consistent theory, (b) added the Lorentz invariant proper time interval (which accounts for the actual readings shown by moving clocks), and (c) served as a basis for further development of relativity.
