Maybe this page could be turned into a history of the ice cream cone. Here is a site to check for some data. [1] But probably the name of the article would be changed. Rednblu 04:33, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Light cones don't have anything to do with ice cream; it's a general relativity thing. Whoever wrote the current version of the article was just making stuff up. —Paul A 04:39, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Exactly. I am reviewing my relativistic mechanics notes to see if I could assemble a rough draft for us to improve. Rednblu 13:36, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

New version

I've made a few changes to this article. I want to make major changes to it though. I have a version in my sandbox which people can edit.---Mpatel (talk) 14:50, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

The biggest concern is to have another article on absolute future and absolute past, which are global concepts which should be contrasted with the light cone, which is defined at the level of tangent spaces.---CH (talk) 23:30, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone translate the page into english please?

Thanks. _{(Unsigned comment by 84.92.147.230 6 January 2006}

I agree with this comment. I'm trying to decipher some science fiction novels (1 2) that require thorough familiarity with the "light cone" concept to fully understand their plots. This article really isn't helping. 4.89.240.163 00:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
