| future asymptotically predictable [¦fyü·chǝr ´ā´sim¦täd·ǝ·klē prǝ`dik·tǝ·bǝl] RELATIVITY A mathematical restriction on the global nature of an asymptotically flat space-time such that Cauchy data set on a spacelike surface (partial Cauchy surface) S will determine the evolution of the space-time to the future of S; naked singularities to the future of S are thereby ruled out. |
