Event space (mechanics)

As event space (English: Space of events ) in some representations of classical mechanics , the extension of the configuration space of a system around the time designated, so the tuple , which the generalized coordinates are. ${\ displaystyle (q_ {i})}$ ${\ displaystyle t}$ ${\ displaystyle (q_ {i}, t)}$ ${\ displaystyle q_ {i}}$

Since in the theory of relativity space and time are combined to form the Minkowski space , the event space also prepares for this in classical mechanics. In the theory of relativity event (called events ) a point in space-time .
