-The diagram below illustrates the difference between distance in Euclidean space (left) and "distance" (actually proper time) in space-time a la Einstein. For a more detailed explanation of this diagram see [[https://esackinger.wordpress.com/|Fun with Symmetry]].
+The diagram below illustrates the difference between distance in Euclidean space (left-hand side) and "distance" (actually proper time) in space-time according to Einstein's special theory of relativity (right-hand side). Time dilation is shown in red. For a more detailed explanation of this diagram see [[https://esackinger.wordpress.com/blog/lie-groups-and-their-representations/#space_time_dist|Fun with Symmetry]].
