In Special Relativity, the diagram we most commonly see is the Minkowski coordinization of Rindler Spacetime (the accelerating observer's coordinates as seen in the inertial frame).

Are there any visualizations of the inverse/ how motion in an inertial frame would appear to an accelerating observer?

  • $\begingroup$ @LPZ No; we can define and visualize the accelerating observer's coordinates in the frame of an inertial frame, so I was looking for the inverse. $\endgroup$

These are screengrabs taken from this wonderful set of lectures on SR and GR (Relativity 105f to be precise). The images are self explanatory.enter image description here
