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, Carl F. Gauss, Bernhard Riemann, and Ernst Mach for general relativity. Subsequently, claims have been put forward about both theories, asserting that they were formulated, either wholly or in part, by others before Einstein. At issue is the extent to which Einstein and various other individuals should be credited for the formulation of these theories, based on priority considerations.

  • Albert Einstein presentò le teorie della relatività ristretta e della relatività generale in articoli che non contenevano riferimenti formali alla precedente letteratura, o si riferivano solo ai risultati di un piccolo numero dei suoi predecessori, tra cui Hendrik Lorentz per la relatività speciale e al lavoro di Carl Friedrich Gauss, Bernhard Riemann, ed Ernst Mach per la relatività generale. Ciò scatenò numerose pretese su entrambe le teorie, che asserivano che esse erano state formulate interamente o in parte da altri prima di Einstein. L'argomento della discussione è in che estensione vadano attribuiti meriti ad Einstein ed altri individui per la formulazione di queste due teorie, basandosi su considerazioni di priorità. (it)

  • 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, Carl F.

Subsequently, claims have been put forward about both theories, asserting that they were formulated, either wholly or in part, by others before Einstein. At issue is the extent to which Einstein and various other individuals should be credited for the formulation of these theories, based on priority considerations. In general relativity, there is a controversy about how much credit should go to Einstein, Marcel Grossmann, and David Hilbert. Many others (such as Gauss, Riemann, William Kingdon Clifford, Ricci, Gunnar Nordström and Levi-Civita) contributed to the development of the mathematical tools and geometrical ideas underlying the theory of gravity. Also polemics exist about alleged contributions of others such as Paul Gerber. It was noted by Sir Edmund Whittaker in his 1954 book that David Hilbert had derived the theory of general relativity from an elegant variational principle almost simultaneously with Einstein's discovery of the theory. Hilbert's derivation of the theory predated that of Einstein by five days. (en)
