Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper (a graphical motivation)
(based on https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/teaching-sr-without-simultaneity.1011051/post-6588952 and https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/689291/148184 ) In my earlier Insight Spacetime Diagrams of Light Clocks, I stated without proof that the areas of all light-clock diamonds are equal. In my article, “Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper”, Am. J. Phys. 84, 344 (2016) I provided algebraic proof. In the penultimate draft, I had a non-algebraic motivating…
