Question
Suppose the events $E_1$ and $E_2$ have the coordinates $(1,0)$ and
$(2, 0)$ in R. What is the spatial distance between them,
according to R? What is the spatial distance, according to G?
My Attempt:-
I have drawn a space-time graph. I think in the question $x,y$ and $xi,eta$ cordinates are kept constant. Am I correct? $E_1$ and $E_2$ with respect to $R$ is given by $(t=1,z=0)$ and $(t=2, z=0)$. Hence the spacial distance between the events are $0$. $E_1$ and $E_2$ with respect to $G$ is given by $(tau=1,zeta=-v)$ and $(tau=2, zeta=-2v)$. Hence spacial distance between the events are $v$. Am I correct?
Did I understand the concept correctly? I request you to verify my
understanding.

I really wanted to understand about th universe. I have just started relativity. I don't know whether my understandings are correct or not.
