[Phys-L] Alternate Spacetime Diagram [was Trial balloon]



This is the kind of spacetime diagram used by Lewis Carol Epstein throughout his book, Relativity Visualized.
See , <http://www.amazon.com/Relativity-Visualized-Lewis-Carroll-Epstein/dp/093521805X>.
I find it useful.

I am playing with an idea about an alternate way of graphing a particle’s
world line - in a “mixed” space time, using laboratory space coordinates but
the particle’s proper time coordinate. I would appreciate any comments on a
beginning draft of the idea ==> www.sciamanda.com/rel.pdf .
