In 3D Euclidean space, the surface equidistant from a point is a sphere, with constant curvature.

In (2+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, the equidistant surface is a (1+1)-dimensional de Sitter spacetime, which also has constant curvature.

Great news from the wonderful Pat Cadigan:
“In case you couldn’t hear me partying here in London, I beat terminal cancer. I kicked its ass down the stairs, took its lunch money, and threw rocks at it as it ran away crying. I don’t have cancer any more.”
