1.2: Space and Time in Prerelativity Physics and in Special Relativity Inertial motion is the motion a material body undergoes when it is not subjected to any external forces. 1.3: The Spacetime Metric In classical physics, invariants between inertial frames are: (1) the time interval $\Delta t$ between two events, (2) the spatial distance $|\Delta x|$ between two simultaneous events.
In special relativity, the invariant between inertial frames is the interval $$I=(\Delta s)^2=-(\Delta t)^2+(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta y)^2+(\Delta z)^2.Read on /journal/gr/wald-1/ ↗
