Talk:Hypercone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hypercone and spherical cone are the same object.

[edit] Need cleanup

This article needs some cleanup work. I think the geometrical and temporal interpretations should be kept separate (e.g., in the opening paragraph where time is used as an example without adequate explanation of the difference). A fourth spatial dimension (in Euclidean 4-space) should not be conflated with time in Minskowskian space-time (General Relativity). For the latter, there is already an article dedicated to it: light cone. In the original spherical cone article, I purposely kept the two interpretations under separate sections. We should rearrange the material to fit under the appropriate sections.—Tetracube 04:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hypercone Re-entry

I believe that the word "hypercone" can also refer to theoretical re-entry structures for space vehicles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.52.65 (talk) 07:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
