-
A.
Raum, Zeit, Materie
Raum, Zeit, Materie is Hermann Weyl’s influential early 20th-century treatise that develops the mathematical foundations of general relativity and unifies geometry with the physics of space, time, and matter.
-
B.
Raum und Zeit in der gegenwärtigen Physik
"Raum und Zeit in der gegenwärtigen Physik" is a foundational philosophical work by Moritz Schlick that analyzes the concepts of space and time in light of Einstein’s theory of relativity and modern physics.
-
C.
The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity
The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity is Albert Einstein’s seminal 1916 paper that systematically presents and mathematically formulates his theory of gravitation, revolutionizing modern physics and our understanding of space-time.
-
D.
On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" is Albert Einstein’s 1905 paper that introduced the special theory of relativity, fundamentally redefining concepts of space, time, and motion in physics.
-
E.
Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
