that Lorentz transformations are rotations in a four-dimensional Euclidean space
or, more correctly, are orthogonal transformations in four dimensions.

Sometimes a graphical display of Lorentz transformations is made using a real
time variable x0 = ct, rather than xt. This is called a Minkowski diagram and has
the virtue of dealing with real quantities. It has the major disadvantage that the ...
