How would the following image look like, if we didn't use $ct$ for time?
I just wonder how spacetime would look like if we didn't use $ct$ for $t$ and we just used $t$ instead?
I guess the $t$-axis would just scale. Would that mean that, the hyperbolas would be very hard ...

Why are the coordinate axes of a moving frame $K'$ tilted in spacetime diagrams?
I am currently trying to self-teach special relativity (if relevant, I am still in school). I think that I already have a good intuitive understanding of, for example, time dilation and length ...

Units in Special Relativity
I have several small questions about units in special relativity:
I've read somewhere that $c=1$ can be interpreted as lightyears being out unit of length, and years being our unit of time. But that ...
