Abstract

MINKOWSKI defined the four-dimensional spacetime model (x, y, z, t) used to represent world-point and world in [1]. The spacetime light cone is an intuitive diagram, compacted one space component and replaced it by time axis, thus the spacetime light cone was based on (x, y, t). In such a way, although it made the visual expression is possible, but also the spacetime light cone exposed shortages as follows • The spacetime light cone has limited expressive ability • The relationship between two or more world lines or events cannot be expressed • Can't express different world lines correctly • Most images of spacetime light cones are wrong and no use • The image of spacetime light cone is not intuitive and is obscure in application. Because of this, we designed the 4-dimensional Spacetime World Line image representation. This new 4-dimensional Spacetime diagram presents the complete 3 space dimensions and 1 time dimension. It overcomes the weakness of spacetime light cone, gives clear and precise visual expression of the world line, is able to display multi-world lines in one figure, can clearly present the interface and development process of each of the world line, and display the interaction among them. From the 4-dimensional spacetime diagram, we deducted and proved the Law of Existence of Object, which is as such: From its birth, through its past, to the present, and into the future, an object only exists at the "present" moment.
