Abstract
Special relativity is most naturally formulated as a theory of space-time geometry, but within the space-time framework probability apears to be at best an epistemic notion - a matter of what can be known, not of the status of events in themselves. However, a non-epistemic account of probability can be given in Minkowski space-time, in terms of the Everett interpretation. We work throughout in the consistent histories formalism, first in tems of a single history, and then using many
