Summary

Description
English: This is an image of a 2D Euclidean spacespace diagram, to be used as the basis for an analogy showing a 2D spacetime (Minkowski) diagram in a slide presentation at Wikiversity:Special relativity and steps towards general relativity. This uses the geometric approach to explaining special relativity, as in e.g. Taylor and Wheeler. This is why a Euclidean diagram has a role for explaining Minkowski spacetime.
