You might want to look at the Milne modelsqljunkey said:Is this how you would draw the Minkowski space diagram with space expanding, (without acceleration or black holes) ?
A Minkowski diagram is a graphical representation of the relationship between space and time in the theory of special relativity. It is used to visualize the effects of time dilation and length contraction on an object moving at high speeds.
In a Minkowski diagram, the x-axis represents space and the y-axis represents time. The slope of a line on the diagram represents the speed of an object. In an expanding universe, the slope of the line will increase as the object moves further away, representing the increasing rate of expansion.
The Minkowski diagram uses a different coordinate system than a traditional graph. It also takes into account the effects of special relativity, such as time dilation and length contraction, which are not typically considered in a traditional graph.
Yes, a Minkowski diagram can also be used to visualize other cosmological phenomena, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the expansion of the universe due to dark energy.
The Minkowski diagram provides a visual representation of the increasing rate of expansion in an expanding universe. It also helps to illustrate the effects of special relativity on the expansion of the universe, providing evidence for the theory of an expanding universe.
