Summary/Abstract: Juraj Politeo (1827–1913) was a precursor of Einstein because of his contribution to the reassessment of scientific concepts, laws, and the objects of scientific study. Albin Nađ (1866–1901) also contributed a reassessment of scientific concepts, laws, and the objecets of scientific study. Both of our thinkers gained merit with their detailed reflections about relativity, and Nađ especially in considering the relativity of space. These text attempts to demonstrate that these two of our thinkers are, in this sense, part of a line that includes Mach, Hertz, Duhem, Poincare, and ends with Einstein and quantum theory. In this way the article shows that our thinkers are precursors of Einstein and even share his “dream”.
