In the context of relativity, what is an "event"? Give a specific example of an event and provide the coordinates necessary to specify the event.
Suppose that an astronaut left Earth in the year 2000 and traveled toa star 99 light years away from Earth at 99% of the speed of light andthat upon reaching the star immediately turned around and returnedto Earth at the same speed. Assuming Einstein's sp ecial theory ofrelativity, show that if the astronaut was 20 years old at the time ofdeparture, then he or she would return to Earth at age 48.2 in the year2200. Explain the use of Exercise 4 in solving this problem.
