Spacetime Diagram & coordinate, Event, World lines of photon & observer, forward/backward Light cone



PhysicsNextBook

In this video we will talk about space-time diagram and discuss how events are observed and an object’s motion is tracked – in a manner suitable for special relativity. This generates the world-lines of objects and observers in a space-time diagram and also helps us realize why space and time are put together to form a unified entity called spacetime. We finally consider the world-line of photons and see how that leads us to the concept of light-cone in a spacetime diagram.

  2. Backward light cone means, t is negative…
    I think physically it means nothing in the past also could travel faster than light..
    But I am not sure.
    Please tell the correct answer.
