Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia
A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity. Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

2.1: Spacetime Diagrams - Physics LibreTexts
With the tool of spacetime diagrams and a means for computing intervals between events, we can gain a better understanding of the three versions of time. Figure 2.1.4 – Three Measurements of Time in Spacetime Diagrams

Introduction_To_Spacetime_Diagrams
We will use a simple graphing technique called a Minkowski spacetime diagram, or simply a “spacetime diagram,” to illustrate and understand complex scenarios in special relativity.

Spacetime diagram - MIT
A spacetime diagram is a way of plotting some events in space and time, in a static image. The two axes are space (usually x x) and time, with the units set such that light moves at 45 ° 45°. Lines represent motion and straight lines represent inertial motion.

Spacetime Diagrams - Westminster U
The spacetime diagram is a tool to help us visualize Lorentz transformations and multiple events in different reference frames. In PHYS211, we often visualized motion in one di-mension by plotting the x coordinate on the ver-tical axis and the t coordinate on the horizon-tal axis.

These transformations show that space and time are inextricably interwoven in special relativity. shown in Figure 1. Note how the time axis is converted to distanc by multiply by c. This diagram is for a particular frame S and the space-time diagrams for all other frames

0.1 Space-Time Diagrams - Duke University
A very useful intuitive tool for understanding Special Relativity is the space-time diagram. We’ll use the vertical axis to denote time, and the horizontal axis to denote distance – for convenience we’ll call this x and align our spacial axes such that the motion is in the x direction.

Space-time diagrams - University of Tennessee
In a space-time diagram two or more events that have the same space-time coordinates are represented by the same point. Events that have the same space coordinate, but not the same time coordinates are represented by points on a single straight line, a line of constant position.

Introduction to special relativity and Minkowski spacetime diagrams ...
Including multiple observers in the "most obvious" way led to some problems. Let's see how we can start to solve those problems by introducing (what we'll later call) Minkowski spacetime diagrams.
