A quick question I hope:
What would I see from Earth if I sent a rocket to Saturn at nearly the speed of light?
If the rocket travels a million miles at a thousand miles an hour I will see it arrive in 1000 hours.
If the rocket travels at nearing the speed of light I won't see it arrive for.. what? A thousand years because of relativity? ?
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... since that would require the Earth observer see a rocket arrive sooner the quicker it traveled until it reached a tipping point and started getting there later and later as speed increased...
Help with my head would be gratefully appreciated@
