I would agree this holds for Euclidean 4-space, but is this measure of hyper-volume valid for Minkowski space, since only three of the dimensions are Euclidean?

Dunne (An Experiment with Time) into a serious misconception of the theory of Relativity. Minkowski's geometry of space-time is not Euclidean, and consequently has no connection with the present investigation.
