summary:
The norm of spacetime is only about time.
description:
The input is in yellow. The conjugate of the input is in blue, a 3D spatial reflection. The norm that results from multiplying yellow and blue is in green. Nailed to the origin, no ruler is needed, only a watch to record how long into the future is any spacetime norm.
