To those physics prodigies

Hi guys, I'm stuck. I need some help fast. I need to draw a Minkowski diagram for a problem on special relativity.. The bad part is I don't know how to draw a Minkowski diagram, I must have skipped class that day because it is not in my notes.

I'm writing a paper due in two hours and I need a Minkowski diagram for Mitch's Paradox (by Skosso). In case you forgot, the problem involves Richard who travels between a stationary Bob and Bubba, all "the same age" at the start of the experiment, but Rich ends up younger than Bubba. The diagram needs to be from Rich's perspective. If any knowledgable scholars around here would lend a hand I'm sure you would get a free pass to heaven. Or not if you're atheist, idc

I can't help, but I liked the pun. I imagine a small cow would be a very poor skier

Maybe you guys can help me out with another part of the question I'm stuck on/can't find in the book. What are four examples of statements or relations that are frame-invarient in Galileon space time but are frame dependent in special theory of relativity. Also, what are four examples of frame-invariant relations in STR. One should be nonsense in Galileon ST

thanks I hope ;P

Oh man, it's been a few years since I took my GR course. I'd have to do some reading to remember...
