Since this is a tutorial, it is the right place to ask for clarifications, not only about the calculator, but also about the parameters and results.eltodesukane said:Very difficult to get an intuitive view of all these interactive parameters, even with all those graphics.
A light cone refers to the path that light takes through space and time according to the theory of relativity. It is a cone-shaped region that represents the possible paths of any object traveling at the speed of light, with the tip of the cone being the present moment and the base of the cone being all possible future and past events.
The charts in Part II of the tutorial show the relationship between time and space in the context of the light cone. The x-axis represents space while the y-axis represents time. The diagonal line represents the path of light, with points above the line representing events that can be influenced by light, and points below the line representing events that cannot be influenced by light.
