S-T is static; the Minkowski diagram is an attempt to bring back a common sense of time to S-T implications but there are a lot of problems with an animated Minkowski diagram. The many worlds model interpretation of quantum theory gives back a common sense feeling of the passage of time and yet retains all of the aspects of relativity theory and its implications.
