When we begin speaking about special relativity later in the document, we will distinguish the difference between the time a person sees (notices) the results of an event, and the location and time of the event itself.
27 Μαΐ 2024 · An in-depth exploration of Special Relativity, covering time dilation, length contraction, and the mass-energy equivalence formula, E=mc2, proposed by Albert Einstein.
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.
10 Δεκ 2023 · A spaceship travels away from Earth in the direction of a nearby planet. A spacetime diagram for the Earth's reference frame shows the worldline of the spaceship. Assume the clock on the Earth, the clock on the planet, and the clock on the spaceship were all synchronized when ct = 0.
Space and Time in Special Relativity. Dan Styer; c 28 September 2015; 3 February 2021. Contents. Introduction. Lorentz transformation. Speed transformation. Time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of synchronization. Pole in the barn. The tossed tomato: Causality and speed limits. Rigidity, straightness, and strength.
For example, light will travel 10 light-years in 10 years and 20 light-years in 20 years. Therefore, on spacetime diagrams, we will measure time in years (or hours, minutes, or seconds), and we will measure distances in light-years (or light-hours, light-minutes or light-seconds).
This spacetime diagram shows a light cone, which divides spacetime into past, present (the origin), future, and the points in spacetime that either can not affect the present, or can not be affected by you. The limiting factor is the finite speed of light. If you send a light pulse, traveling in vacuum, from the present in the positive or ...
