Non-maths general question on history of space time :)
Hello,
I'm doing a Bsc project on space-time and was hoping to receive some advice on how others would structure the history of the topic. I know this is a broad question but what I'm struggling with is how to narrow down the relevant contributors, I don't want to miss out key people involved in its evolution but I also don't want to unnecessarily take up words.
For instance I was thinking of explaining the history in this order:
Galileo
Newton/Leibniz
Mach
Lorentz
Einstein
But then I feel like I should involve for example Michael Faraday & Maxwell's Energy/speed of light contribution or should I just sub-heading that under Einstein where relevant?
I'm new to this forum so I hope this question is appropriate for this section.
Appreciate any help I can get, thanks! :)
