From the above one can immediately infer the existence of a time coordinate t2R such that all the events of constant time tcompose a 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The spacetime is topologically equivalent to R4 and admits a universal coordinate system (t;x 1;x2;x 3). Causal structure Given an event p occurring at time t
