Hypothesis: If events occur far enough apart timewise that one would be able to

influence the other, then all reference frames will show the influencer happening first.

If one event is able to influence another, then it must mean that some light emitted by the first
thing has reached the second thing, causing it to act a certain way (emit light of its own).

This means the distance between the two things must be at most the speed of light times the
time to travel.

No reactions can happen instantly (because once the light hits the second thing, something
must change in it to cause it to emit its own light, which happens at below instant speed,
because the reactions are controlled by propagations of light)

The time between the two events is the least when the observer is in a perfect line with both
events, closer to the second than the first.

If the first event influences the second, that means the light from it has reached the second
already.

Since there is time between the light reaching the second and the second emitting its own light,
by the time the second’s light rays begin to emanate, the first’s light rays have already passed it
in all directions.

Thus, any observer will run into the first’s light rays before the second’s.

Since the first was the cause and the second the effect, that means the cause will always
happen before the effect, so relativity preserves causality.
