The spacetime interval for $CA_2$ is -3 and the proper time is $\sqrt{3}$ Robin, right, and I stand corrected as well. $\frac{2}{\gamma}=\sqrt{3}$ When $\gamma=1.1547005383792517$ for $\frac{c}{2}$ speed. My calculation got mixed up with lower precision. SDG

The danger lies in the deceptive character of metaphysics; it gives the illusion of knowledge without actually giving any knowledge.

EDIT: No, wait, your C1 and C2 are different - I will rework Yes, I skipped 0's for $C$ and $A$ => $C_0$ and $A_0$ for the events. SDG
