Light-Clock Diamond (robphy)

This is the fifth of six GeoGebra files (from my GeoGebra book Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper (robphy) - MAA2016 ) that were part of my MAA MathFest 2016 talk "Introducing Spacetime Geometry: Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper". http://www.maa.org/meetings/mathfest/program-details/2016/themed-contributed-paper-sessions It describes aspects of my paper “Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper”, Am. J. Phys. 84, 344 (2016); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4943251. An informal introduction is presented at https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/relativity-rotated-graph-paper/ You can drag point P to change the velocity of the worldline (through O). The light-signals from O reflect off of the worldlines-of-light-clock-mirrors [not shown] and and meet at the first TICK since event O.
