51. The tetrad indices run from 0 to 3 and indicate time and space coordinates. The indices enclosed in parentheses indicate the different vectors of the tetrad and also run from 0 to 3. It is worth noting that the time-space indices of the tetrad have no relation to the other tetrad indices. If one changes the space-time coordinates then each tetrad vector changes in accordance with the transformation law for vectors. On the other hand, one can change the basis vectors at each point in space-time by a Lorentz transformation without changing the coordinate chart [52].
