Abstract

The kinematics of special relativity is depicted through space-time diagrams, whereby the Lorentz transformation as well as the Galilean can be presented in graphical form rather than analytic. The space-time diagrams are then used to formulate and explain several of the paradoxes of special relativity. The method is a variation of the Minkowski diagram. The reference axes are kept fixed, and the space-time point undergoes an apparent displacement in the plot as the observation frame is changed. The graphical analysis is semiquantitative for some problems and is quantitative for others.
