I wondered anyone can explain the significance of the above as applied to metrics in the context of general relativity. This came up when the video lecturer in GR mentioned that r for example, was null or this or that vector or surface was null, say in the context of the eddington finkelstein coordinate system. I am unable to grasp the meaning or significance of the word null. I think null geodesics are clear however but even here not sure if there is any connection with null vectors etc.
