# What can you say about an event outside your Light-Cone? [closed]

I'm taking a Special Relativity course and lately I've been wondering about this thing for some time. Imagine I'm at the origin of my spacetime lattice (hope I can say this), and I've synchronized all my clocks so that when light passes they start running synchronized.

At a time T2, light has reached some clocks and they start ticking.
Let's suppose that at this time there's an event far away where the light has not reached the clocks in space. This the same situation of an event occurring at time T2 outside your light cone:

2. How much do I have to wait to see it?
3. Do we say this event is too far in space, time or spacetime?

Please address any misconception (if there is) in comment, I will be glad to know them and edit my question.

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

• (2): Are you asking, when you see the clocks starting to tick? In $2*T_2-T_1$. You can see them. But you will see them only after the light from the clock arrived to you. If you ask, when you will see A to happen, it is independent from your other clocks. It will happen in $T_1 + \frac{dist(A)}{c}$. – peterh Jun 8 '17 at 18:59
• Well you could make any assumption about any event outside your light cone, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen or is correct ;) – Kyle Kanos Jun 9 '17 at 2:21
