          Event A occurs in frame S at the space-time coordinates
(ta, XA, YA, ZA) = (3.70 s, 6.50 ls, 2.70 ls, 4.40 ls)
Event B occurs in frame S' at the space-time coordinates
(в, хв. Ув, 2) = (-14.9 s, 31.2 ls, 2.70 ls, 4.40 ls)
Frame S' moves at speed u = 0.790c in the +x-direction relative to frame S.
One light-second (ls) is the distance that light travels in one second.
Calculate the time interval At = tB-ta between events A
and B in frame S.
