- TL;DR Summary
- For spacetime diagrams like those is Spacetime Physics, matplotlib and PowerPoint are likely not suitable.
In a few days, I will be hosting a Zoom-based meetup in which I will be explaining the Twin Paradox (time dilatation) and the Pole-in-a-Barn paradox (Lorentz contraction). To this end, I will need to make graphics of space-time diagrams like those in Wheeler's book Spacetime Physics. Can anyone suggest software that will be useful for this purpose? My experience with PowerPoint suggests that it is unsuitable and, since the axes are no longer perpendicular, most plotting software (such as Python's matplotlib) will likely also not be useful.
