Hi guys,
I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing this problem. The question has no additional information, so I'm stuck. Any help I could get would be appreciated.
1. Homework Statement
In four dimensional Minkowski spacetime an event, A, has components labelled Aμ and another event B has components Bμ. What is the overall proper distance in spacetime between events A and B?
Proper spacetime distance
ds2 = -dt2 + dx2
