A tractable case might be to consider the symmetries of spacetime as seen by observers located far away from all sources of the gravitational field.

Their first step was to decide on some physically sensible boundary conditions to place on the gravitational field at light-like infinity to characterize what it means to say a metric is asymptotically flat, making no <i>a priori</i> assumptions about the nature of the asymptotic symmetry group—not even the assumption that such a group exists. Then after designing what they considered to be the most sensible boundary conditions, they investigated the nature of the resulting asymptotic symmetry transformations that leave invariant the form of the boundary conditions appropriate for asymptotically flat gravitational fields. What they found was that the asymptotic symmetry transformations actually do form a group and the structure of this group does not depend on the particular gravitational field that happens to be present. This means that, as expected, one can separate the kinematics of spacetime from the dynamics of the gravitational field at least at spatial infinity. The puzzling surprise in 1962 was their discovery of a rich infinite-dimensional group (the so-called BMS group) as the asymptotic symmetry group, instead of the finite-dimensional Poincaré group, which is a subgroup of the BMS group. Not only are the Lorentz transformations asymptotic symmetry transformations, there are also additional transformations that are not Lorentz transformations but are asymptotic symmetry transformations. In fact, they found an additional infinity of transformation generators known as <i>supertranslations</i>. This implies the conclusion that General Relativity (GR) does <i>not</i> reduce to special relativity in the case of weak fields at long distances. It turns out that the BMS symmetry, suitably modified, could be seen as a restatement of the universal <a href="/wiki/Soft_graviton_theorem" title="Soft graviton theorem">soft graviton theorem</a> in <a href="/wiki/Quantum_field_theory" title="Quantum field theory">quantum field theory</a> (QFT), which relates universal infrared (soft) QFT with GR asymptotic spacetime symmetries.<sup id="cite_ref-strominger2017_153-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-strominger2017-153"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>153<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Causal_structure_and_global_geometry">Causal structure and global geometry</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=General_relativity&amp;action=edit&amp;section=27" title="Edit section: Causal structure and global geometry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Causal_structure" title="Causal structure">Causal structure</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Penrose.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Penrose.svg/220px-Penrose.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="199" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Penrose.svg/330px-Penrose.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Penrose.svg/440px-Penrose.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="651" data-file-height="588" /></a><figcaption>Penrose–Carter diagram of an infinite <a href="/wiki/Minkowski_space" title="Minkowski space">Minkowski universe</a></figcaption></figure> <p>In general relativity, no material body can catch up with or overtake a light pulse.
