The formulation of an abstract philosophy of geometry by David Hilbert, which refused to make assumptions about the properties of real space, did not long precede the development of the general theory of relativity by Albert *Einstein, which extrapolated Hermann Minkowski’s notion of a non-Euclidean ‘‘space-time continuum’’.
