After compensating his observations by the relativistic Doppler factor, the distant person finds that the rate is exactly equal to the rate of his own clock.

Einstein himself doesn't believe in 'time dilation'. 'time dilation' is just an idea....just a thought. All in the mind. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
