Mar 8, 2016 at 18:45 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten The transmission delay (sometimes called retardation) is separate from time dilation. You still observe time dilation if you calculate back to where and when the observed event actually took place.
Mar 8, 2016 at 18:37 comment added Jason C @OrangeDog Wouldn't they see the same displacement profile, just lagged in time slightly because of the time it takes for the light to travel to their eyes? So same displacement per time, but just with the perceived start time of the displacement curve at the far end offset a little. So the acceleration curve would still be the same. Like, if there were a ruler at both ends, the object would cover the same distance; and the amount of time between the observed start of the motion and a specific displacement would appear the same at both ends to the ground observer?
Mar 8, 2016 at 18:34 comment added OrangeDog Presumably an observer on the ground does not see the same displacement at both ends.
