Space-time diagrams
Space-time diagrams are visual tools that illustrate how objects move through both space and time simultaneously. They typically plot an object’s position (space) along one axis and time along another. By doing so, they show the object's trajectory or path, helping us understand concepts like speed, acceleration, and how signals or light travel. These diagrams clarify that motion isn't just about where an object is, but also when it is there, providing a comprehensive picture of an event's location and timing within the fabric of space and time.
