Spacetime Diagrams Simulation
Worldlines and light lines on Minkowski axes
Worldlines and light lines make causality and relative motion geometrically visible.
What Is Spacetime Diagrams?
Spacetime Diagrams refer to worldlines and light lines on minkowski axes in relativity. This page visualizes the phenomenon with interactive controls so you can change parameters and observe how the model responds.
What To Observe
- Watch how the visual pattern or system response changes as you adjust the controls for Spacetime Diagrams.
- Relate each visual change to the core phenomenon shown here: worldlines and light lines on minkowski axes.
- Use repeated runs with one parameter changed at a time to build intuition.

Try These Experiments
- Start with default settings, then change one slider at a time.
- Record what increases, decreases, or becomes unstable as parameters vary.
- Use screenshots or notes to compare patterns between runs.
