Light Cone Causality


	The speed of light limits Alice and Bob's ability to communicate with electromagnetic phenomena. Change the distance between them or move an event in spacetime and compare the resulting light cones to the cyan, magenta and yellow cones of the regions that could be reached by rockets slower than light.
