According to Minkowski, spacetime for non-accelerated systems is a four dimensional continuum which has four axes (three space, one time) set mutually at right angles to each other. The velocity of a body moving in a straight line will be the resultant of the component velocities along the three space axes. Its direction of motion will clearly not be at right angles to any of those axes. This would seem to imply that the direction of motion of the body through space cannot be at right angles to the time axis either. Any comments?
