Minkowski Diagram (1+1D)
This interactive simulator explores Minkowski Diagram in Math Visualization. Light cone and boosted axes in 1+1D; γ from v. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Math Visualization.

How it works
Spacetime diagrams make simultaneity, causality, and length contraction easier to argue without 3D animations.
