Abstract
We provide three examples of the use of geometric reasoning with three-dimensional spacetime diagrams, rather than algebraic manipulations using three-dimensional Lorentz transformations, to analyze problems in special relativity. The examples are the “rising manhole” paradox, the “moving spotlight” problem, and Einstein's light-clock derivation of time dilation.
