The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He created and developed the geometry of numbers and elements of convex geometry, and used geometrical methods to solve problems in number theory, mathematical physics, and the theory of relativity.
- Minkowski is perhaps best known for his foundational work describing space and time as a four-dimensional space, now known as "Minkowski spacetime", which facilitated geometric interpretations of Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hermann Minkowski article was read about 69,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
