Grammar bad

Under "History", the following phrase appears, "In 1905, and later published in 1906...". The grammar might be improved.

Flat???

A lot of talk about a flat spacetime, but no definition of 'flatness' to be found (I think). What do you mean with 'flat'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koitus~nlwiki (talkcontribs) 20:11, 15 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good point. I have added a wikilink to the relevant article Flat (geometry). - DVdm (talk) 08:58, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Misleading text for image "Subdivision of Minkowski spacetime"

In section "Causal structure" the image "Subdivision of Minkowski spacetime" has a misleading terminology: "absolute future" and "absolute past". A better terminology is used in the Wikipedia article "Causal structure": "causal future" and "causal past". Johanwiden (talk) 14:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have now replaced "absolute future/past" with e.g. "causal future (also called the absolute future)".
Also added an internal reference to Wikipedia page "Causal structure", which defines causal future/past. Johanwiden (talk) 13:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Add a forward reference to definition of "scalar product" at first use of symbol for scalar product

In section "Causal structure" the greek symbol "eta", is used without explanation or reference. Add a named link "scalar product" at the use of symbol "eta". "scalar product" is defined later on in the article. Johanwiden (talk) 10:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have know added the forward link to section "Scalar product". Johanwiden (talk) 13:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
