A summary of representative diagrams (top row diagrams simplified from Figs. 2, 5 and 7 for
v = 0.9c) and the key equations mapping the Minkowski spacetime (MS), blended spacetime and the renormalized blended spacetime (RBS). The bottom row schematics indicate the mappings between the three spacetimes shown by the dashed gray lines. In addition to the MS, blended spacetime and RBS coordinates, one could also express three more coordinates: Minkowski polar (, blended polar ( and renormalized blended polar (. Relations between all six of these coordinate systems can be deduced from the above information and that given in the main text. |
