This quantity's name is used to describe situations in which there exists a frame of reference such that two given events could have happened at the same location.
This quantity's name is used to describe situations in which there exists a frame of reference such that two given events could have happened at the same location. The product of two values of this quantity is subtracted in the Minkowski metric, unlike the spatial components, which are added. The product of resistance and capacitance has units of this quantity, and RC circuits have a characteristic "constant" for this quantity over which voltage drops off. Relativity explains this quantity's dilation, which is central to different aging rates in the twin paradox. For 10 points, identify this quantity of duration, often measured in seconds or minutes.
