I snap my fingers now.
This is a event.
An event happens at one point in time, and one point in space.
An event doesn't move in space or time.
Four entities must be used to define an event.
It is common to call these four entities coordinates.
So we have four coordinates, one temporal, three spatial.
(temporal = related to time, spatial = related to space)
But the spatial coordinate system, and the time coordinate
must be defined, they are not given by nature.
I choose to use the Earth fixed Geographic coordinate system,
so the spatial coordinates are latitude (lat), longitude (long)
and altitude (alt)
I choose to use the Gregorian calendar and UTC for the time coordinate.
So the coordinates of my finger snap are:
t = 2025-10-15, 09:52:31 UTC
lat = 58⁰ 19' 41"
long = 8⁰ 34' 06"
alt = 37m
We are however free to use other temporal and spatial coordinates.
But they must be precisely defined.

Which planet do you live at?
Have you never, here on Earth, had a date with your dentist?
Did he ask you to meet at a 'point in time, or in some duration?
Did he say: "meet at my office in 54 hours and 37 minutes", or
did he say: "meet at my office at, e.g. September 13. 2025 14:30" ?
(where 14:30 is in the local time zone based on UTC)
If you said to your dentist that it was impossible to meet
at September 13. 2025 14:30, because "the zero point is not defined",
he would probably consider you to be an idiot.
Would he be right?>

Why are you babbling all this nonsense?
