so you place worldlines on space time diagram, does anyone know how to do this? or any pdf on it?
A space time world line diagram is a graphical representation of an object's path through space and time. It shows the trajectory of an object in a 4-dimensional space, with three dimensions representing space and one dimension representing time.
A space time world line diagram is useful in visualizing and understanding the concept of relativity, as it allows us to see how an object's position and movement in space are affected by the passage of time. It also helps in predicting and analyzing the behavior of objects in the universe.
A space time world line diagram is created by plotting an object's position at different points in time on a 4-dimensional graph. Each point represents a specific moment in time and the object's location in space at that time. The resulting lines or curves on the diagram show the path of the object through space and time.
Yes, a space time world line diagram can represent the movement of light. In fact, the straight diagonal line on a space time world line diagram represents the path of light, as it always travels at a constant speed regardless of the observer's frame of reference.
The slope of a space time world line represents the speed of the object at any given point in time. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a flatter slope indicates a slower speed. The slope can also represent the direction of the object's movement through space.
