    In physics , and in particular Theory of relativity relativity , an event indicates a physical situation or occurrence, located at a specific point in spacetime space and time . For example, a glass breaking on the floor is an event it occurs at a unique place and a unique time, in a given frame of reference. ref A.P. French 1968 , Special Relativity, MIT Introductory Physics Series, CRC Press, ISBN 0748764224, p 86 ref Strictly speaking, the notion of an event is an idealization, in the sense that it specifies a definite time and place, whereas any actual event is bound to have a finite extent, both in time and in space. ref Leo Sartori 1996 , Understanding Relativity a simplified approach to Einstein s theories, University of California Press, ISBN 0520200292, p 9 ref One of the goals of relativity is to specify the possibility of one event influencing another. This is done by means of the metric tensor , which allows for determining the causal structure of spacetime. The difference or interval between two events can be classified into spacelike , lightlike and timelike separations. Only if two events are separated by a lightlike or timelike interval can one influence the other.
