I have an interesting finding in spacetime diagram - The area of the square grid for the rest frame O, is the same as the area of the rhombus grid for the inertial frame O'.
More specifically, the area of the square for frame O
(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1) and (1, 0) is 1
The area for the rhombus for frame O'
(0, 0), (vγ, γ), (γ+vγ, γ+vγ), and (γ, vγ) is also 1,
no matter what γ or v is.
Is this just a coincidence or does it have mathematics or physics basis?
Thanks!
