Mar 20 at 13:31 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Nikolaj-K: well, perhaps general relativity is not such a clean example, though it seems that a) Nordstrom's theory was not quite correct (not consistent with observations), and b) Einstein developed his version independently (as far as I know).

Dec 25, 2014 at 1:36 comment added Nikolaj-K "Why did nobody think like this before?" Isn't the answer in the case of general relativity pretty clear? Before special relativity 1905 there wasn't the necessity, and before Minkowski there wasn't the idea to use the geometric math. Following these events, the first theory seems to be Nordströms.
