Abstract
As we saw, Penrose diagrams exhibit the causal structure of space-time. Penrose diagrams are found in two steps:
-
(A)
Choose coordinates that map boundaries of space-time to finite coordinate distance.
-
(B)
Conformal rescaling of metric i.e. get rid of divergent part of metric, namely, the conformal factor.
