Question

A “cause” occurs at point 1 (x1, t1) and its “effect” occurs
at point 2 (x2, t2). Use the Lorentz transformation to
find t′2 − t′1, and showthat t′2 − t′1 > 0; that is, O′ can never
see the “effect” coming before its “cause.”

Step 1

Given that,

A “cause” occurs at point 1 (x1, t1)  and its “effect” occurs at point 2 (x2, t2).

We need to show that:

t′2 − t′1 > 0 by using Lorentz transformation; that is, O′ can never see the “effect” coming before its “cause.”
