A worldline of a light particle sketched in a Minkowski diagram (space-time diagram). Scale of the axes is chosen so that the photons's wordline is an angle bisector. That means: the worldlines of light particles (photons) include same angle with the position axis, as with the time axis. All physically possible worldlines are always steeper than the photon worldlines.
