Yes, of course.
I think apples are unrelated to oranges as well, so I don't mix those
either.
Time is not a vector, it has no inverse.
When Einstein defined
' the "time" required by light to travel from A to B equals the "time"
it requires to travel from B to A. ' the bloody fool didn't know what he
was doing, and he was totally inept mathematically when he wrote
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v)).

Maybe you can tell me the time interval between
(x,0,0,t) and (0,0,0,t) if you wildly imagine (x,0,0,0) is time.

So we are discussing nonsense, the idiot Einstein that began it all
didn't know what a vector was, and certainly was attempting to use (and
failed) euclidian geometry.
How many metres are there in an apple and how many oranges are there in
a second anyway, since this "modern work" ?
