We discuss how we can draw the uniformly moving observer’s space axis in our spacetime diagram.
Drawing the space axis of a uniformly moving observer in our spacetime diagram or Minkowski diagram is a non-trivial task. In this video we discuss how we, the inertial observers can use the concept of simultaneous events to determine the orientation of the space axis of another observer who is moving with a uniform velocity relative to us, in our spacetime diagram.

just another video made without any thinking at all. Result: nonsense, because the whole subject is nonsense.
Am I the moving frame? Or how does that work?
Nice video, thanks!
