<strong>The</strong> distance ds is here depicted as a 2 dimensional distance<br />

with dy and dz suppressed. In 4 dimensions, the distance<br />

between two events, A and B, is a constant. While dt and dx<br />

vary, the sum <strong>of</strong> their squares does not.<br />

We find that ds is invariant.<br />

It is a<br />

hypotenuse.<br />

This is an example <strong>of</strong> an<br />

invariant distance, ds, in a simple<br />

Pythagorean situation.<br />

Note that t may be negative or the<br />

distances may be negative. t is<br />

converted to meters <strong>of</strong> light travel<br />

time. It is a distance in relativity.<br />
