Abstract

After detailing the characteristics of space-proper time diagrams for Galilean relativity and special relativity, we show how they can be used to better visualize the progression of ideas about the absolute or relative nature of space and time, from Galilean relativity to special relativity. We conclude that space-proper time diagrams could be an interesting new tool for introducing special relativity.
