New page

Minkowski space is 4-dimensional Euclidean space (i.e., the set of points <math>(x,y,z,t)</math>) together with the metric:

<math>
c^2dt^2-dx^2-dy^2-dz^2
</math>

A vector ''v'' in Minkowski space is said to be time-like if <math>||v||^2 > 0</math>, light-like if <math>||v||^2 = 0</math> and space-like if <math>||v||^2 < 0</math>. The isometries of Minkowski space are the [[Lorentz transformation]]s.
