In special relativity spacetime denotes the configuration space of a __single__ point particle. We denote the Minkowski spacetime by $Q$, i.e., $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}\ni(x^0,\ldots,x^n)$ with the [[advanced_tools:minkowski_metric|Minkowksi metric]] | In special relativity spacetime denotes the configuration space of a __single__ point particle.
