[Step-by-Step] In special relativity, the vector space R^4 is augmented with the so-called Lorentz product L(x, y)=x_0 y_0-x_1 y_1-x_2 y_2-x_3 y_3 where x=(x_0,


Question: In special relativity, the vector space \(\mathbb{R}^{4}\) is augmented with the so-called Lorentz product

\[L(\mathrm{x}, \mathbf{y})=x_{0} y_{0}-x_{1} y_{1}-x_{2} y_{2}-x_{3} y_{3}\]

where \(\mathrm{x}=\left(x_{0}, x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}\right)\) and \(\mathbf{y}=\left(y_{0}, y_{1}, y_{2}, y_{3}\right)\). The resulting structure is called Minkowski space. Is the Lorentz product an inner product? Explain your argument carefully.
