As of 2020, no one knows how to build the major desktop distros fully from source into the ISO, and especially so in a reproducible build way. Everything is done in build servers somewhere with complicated layers of prebuilds. It's crap.

The opposite of spacelike-separated events.

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.

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 Section "Light cone".

The opposite of those events are timelike-separated events.

The history of light if funny.

First people thought it was a particle, as per corpuscular theory of light, notably Newton supported the corpuscular theory of light.

But then evidence of the diffraction of light start to become unbearably strong, culminating in the Arago spot.

And finally it was understood from Maxwell's equations that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, as its speed was perfectly predicted by the theory.

But then evidence of particle nature started to surface once again with the photoelectric effect. Physicists must have been driven mad by all these changes.

Experiments: speed of light experiments.

Far field approximation to Kirchhoff's diffraction formula, i.e. when the plane of observation is far from the object diffracting.

Near field approximation to Kirchhoff's diffraction formula, i.e. when the plane of observation is near the object diffracting.

TODO this would give a better motivation for the Mathieu group
