In relativity one considers events to be described by points in a four-dimensional SPACE-TIME manifold. Let xμ (μ=0,1,2,3), be a set of coordinates in a certain part of the space-time manifold. x0=ct is a time coordinate t multiplied by the speed of light, c, to gain the dimension of length. xi,i=1,2,3 are three spatial coordinates. If such a coordinate system is actually used in practice (e.g. f...
