... So I've been recently studying the theory of relativity, and I've got a interesting question that I haven't seen anywhere. Say you have some location in a slower time, while the second location is on our earth. So if you had a TV Screen somehow hooked up to a live camera on earth. Would the immage on the screen look like it was sped up? As in twice as fast to the time relative to the guy on the first location
Question about Albert einstein's theory of relativity?

This is just a guess,but here we go:-
Because of the time difference on both
planets (?) I imagine the screens would be
seen as the same speed. However, because
of the time continum - the picture would sho
at differing parts of the story ( on earth it'd
be like an advanced episode of the same story)
I'm No Scientist - So please check this.!!
Planets are moving around a sun at different speeds so maybe time passes at different rates on them but I'll find out the answer to that and post it here. I have my questions that I need to know the answer to before I can correctly and fully answer this one.
I hope I have the correct answer now, an observer could find time on Earth to seem to be passing at the same rate than in the rocket ship. I expect the rate of time in the rocket ship to affect the light by slowing it down. The observer wouldn't notice the change in the speed of light because the observer's mind would be probably going slower than on Earth. That's my prediction but it's easy to be wrong, there's so many variables and I don't want to spend too long on questions.
Wow the comment I wrote above is really wrong, I don't know how I thought it made sense.
Well I never said the location with a slower time rate was specifically on another planet, I was more along the lines of a rocket going at the required high speeds for a 10 minute difference relative
