Relativity Light Cone Graph

A geometric representation illustrating a light cone within a three-dimensional spacetime diagram. The graph depicts the causal structure around an event, with axes representing one temporal dimension and two spatial dimensions. The shaded regions denote the set of all possible events that are causally connected to a specific point in spacetime, showcasing both the past and future light cones. Lines marked with plus signs indicate the paths of light rays, defining the boundaries of these cones in accordance with special relativity.
