摘要
Widely accepted theories in modern cosmology say that spacetime is probably infinite. This raises the question how to define a social welfare order (SWO) for an infinite population of people dispersed throughout time and space. Any such SWO should be Lorentz invariant: it should yield the same value independent of the position and velocity of the social observer. I define and axiomatically characterize spatiotemporal Cesaro average utilitarian SWOs as a solution to this problem.
