    Calculating Distance and Innerproduct in 4-D Minkowski Vector Space

    Thanks very much for your reply, gabba. It seems my intuition was leading me in the right direction on the distance. Unfortunately, the only information I have was posted in the question. I'll consult the text, too, with the ideas you have given me. As far as note are concerned, I don't have...

    Calculating Distance and Innerproduct in 4-D Minkowski Vector Space

    Homework Statement In the 4-D Minkowski vector space [you can think of this as the locations of events in space-time given by (t, x, y, z)] consider the vectors pointing to the following events: (4ns, -1m, 2, 7) and (2ns, 3m, 1m, 9m) (a) Find the distance between the events. (b) Find the...
