About Minkowski Diagrams

A Minkowski diagram shows the relationship between space and time in special relativity. The vertical axis represents time (ct), and the horizontal axis represents position (x).

  • Worldline: The path of a particle through spacetime
  • Slope: Related to the particle's velocity (Δt/Δx = 1/v)
  • Light cone: Lines at 45° represent light paths (v = c)
