That doesn't make the "thing" much clearer.
 In an orthogonal isometric coordinate system ds² = dt²-dx²-dy²-dz².
If ds² = 0 the line element is light-like. If ds² > 0 the line element
is time-like and √(ds²) is proper time. If ds² < 0 the line element
is space-like and √(-ds²) is proper distance.
 Although the formula refers to a particular coordinate system any other
orthogonal isometric coordinate system can be used instead and ds² is
the same.
 
Richard never understood what a coordinate system is.
Until very very recently (you can check on fr.sci.physique) he firmly
believed that ds^2 is always zero, go figure!
