I’m asking this because there is a scifi book I’m reading, and in the book there’s a scene where someone is communicating with a person in a spacecraft moving at lightspeed. I know their ability to communicate would probably not be possible, but let’s just put that aside for a second. Hypothetically, if you could communicate with someone moving lightspeed, would the time dilation make it so that they would appear to be moving and speaking very slowly relative to you?


I’d probably just assume the traveler and receiver aren’t experiencing any maleffects in this situation. Else the traveler would be cooked by all of the radiation that they would be receiving all at once.
