Why would they see the pilot moving in slow motion? The video feed is of the pilot functioning in his/her "real time" (fixed) within a craft. The pilot however, would be observing a blue-green b.l.u.r. outside the craft, since one lap around the Earth = 0.13 seconds @186,000 mi/sec, or approximately 7.5 laps around it, in one full second. Are you confusing the speed of light, with "light years", as it pertains to the speed at which a thing is traveling, vs the passage of time to travel from one point to another? Notwithstanding "time" is a construct/invention we use to measure "events".But if the were a camera onboard wouldn’t people on earth see you in very slo-mo? Since you were always still near earth, transmission delay wouldn’t be a problem. It seems like to you onboard looking at an earth based camera feed you would see years blur by, but those on earth viewing a camera onboard would see you nearly frozen in time?
Interesting read.Not entirely sure of the specifics (hurts my brain too much..try reading this..https://www.quantamagazine.org/does-tim ... -20200407/) but time's arrow doesn't seem to apply the same way at the microscopic level as it does in classical physics.
