Work

Palagyi presented in his work New theory of space and time (1901 ), a " space-time theory ," which had a certain physical resemblance to the space-time formalism of Henri Poincaré and Hermann Minkowski in the framework of special relativity (eg the imaginary time coordinate it as the fourth dimension ). In 1914, he accused Albert Einstein and Minkowski even plagiarism, but he pressed at the same time his rejection of the RT from what he reasoned with the fact that they had entirely misunderstood his theories. How to run Max Born and Klaus Hentschel, however, had his philosophy with the physics of relativity nothing in common, but is merely a reformulation of the classical correlations. Palagyi is also traded with his concept of a vital imagination as one of the ancestors of the cybernetic anthropology. The theory of the virtual movement is the basis for various therapeutic approaches movement.
