Since the units of the constant are seconds squared, the value represented
by the constant is some time (or distance) squared. In other words, the
constant can be represented by:
constant = (another number)2
What does another number turn out to be?
Well, it has units of time or distance (s).
What does the form of the hyperbolic equation tell us about the number?
The hyperbola is:
time2 - space2 = constant
or
time2 - space2 = another
number2
What happens when space = 0?
time2 - 02 = another number2
or
time = another number
