= Spacelike-separated event

Mathematically, we can decide if two events are <timelike-separated> or <spacelike-separated> by just looking at the sign of the <spacetime interval> between them.

= Spacelike-separated
{synonym}

On the <light cone>, these are events on the left/right part of the cone.

Different observers might not agree on the order of two spacelike-separated events.

Further discussion at <light cone>{full}.

The opposite of those events are <timelike-separated events>.
