Re: The Shalimar Treaty
So I'm zooming away from an pulsar, and pass a stationary witness, who observes me travelling at 1/3c and the light from the pulsar flying along at c, closing the gap between itself an myself at a rate of 2/3c (twice my speed).
On the one hand, the pulses would reach me with longer gaps between (from the stationary witness point of view), because I am racing away from them (doppler effect). Does this time compression thing say the amount of time between pulses would be the same to me as it was when I was stationary, because time has slowed down for me?
This seems to say that I cannot perceive a change in pulsar timing, no matter what my speed.
