Today we are gonna be talking about Light Cones.
The light cone is the visual representation of how light (and information) travels in the 4-D spacetime. It consists of two cones, one pointing upward and one pointing downward, meeting at a point called the "event." These cones represent the past and future light cones of the event. Within the light cone, events that can influence the central event are those within its past light cone, while events that can be affected by the central event are within its future light cone. Events outside the cone either have no causal relationship or are null-separated. So basically, light cones illustrate the fact that nothing can travel in space faster than light.
