as distances. (The sum of the first three differences would be the square of the Euclidean distance in 3 space; such distances are invariant under rotation in 3 space). The rotation and concept of invariants as distances was elaborated by Minkowski, in a paper in German published in 1908 called "The Fundamental Equations for Electromagnetic Processes in Moving Bodies".The paper introduced tensors to the mathematical representation
