Tóm tắt

In 1905 Albert Einstein, 26 years old, wrote several reports about special relativity. Some historians speculate that his wife, Mileva Marić, significantly contributed to elaborate the new theory of space and time, mainly in its mathematical component. Mileva did in fact study physics and mathematics with Albert at the Zurich Polytechnic. But Mileva never completed her studies, because she failed the mathematics examinations. In any case, there are no documents to prove her original contributions to special relativity.
