      If you think about an atom going through time and all of its energy is colliding inside of itself.... Imagine little bits of energy being lost over time..... That would be decay... Anyway that's why whenever you observe something it decays slower... Probably because your gravitational pull in your observation is moving much slower and it's much denser..... The more sporadic something as like a happy thought the faster it pulls on things around and speeding up their decay.... The more dense something is the slower it goes through time so...

    Always entertaining, Thank you!
    I was wondering if you all have seen the TV show The Expanse and what your expert opinions on how they do space life. I think It portrays gravity and life in the vacuum of space better than most other Sci-Fi shows, but I'm no expert (why I'm writing you). Your comment about communication across long distances in this episode of StarTalk reminded me of The Expanse communication signals taking a long time to reach their destinations. I also appreciate the way they portray movement and travel in the vacuum of space, (accelerating half way then flipping around and decelerating the other half), witch also creates more gravity on the ships. Also, like in Star Wars where the X-Wings flying in outer space look like we would see a fighter jet flying through atmosphere. The spaceships in the Expanse use thrusters and rocket power to float around and past each other more like boats but in 3 dimensions not just 2 like on water. They also have scenes with dangerous deceleration, air leaks and patching, and first aid troubles in low gravity. There is also a lot of Sci-Fi alien stuff that I love to explain the more crazy situations, but I'd love to see an episode of StarTalk about the more science based situations on a show like that.
    What are your much more expert opinions on a show like the Expanse?

    You guys missed the point of the first question-it was about instantaneous communication between people in different time streams, not light-speed delay. The crews of two relativistic spacecraft would experience doppler shift talking through subspace, probably to the point of requiring special equipment to identify the signal that would be on a very different frequency. There would in fact be a measurable, though not humanly noticeable, doppler shift between Pasadena and a Mars rover, due to both special and general relativity.

    for low speeds the shift in frequency is 2 times the Doppler shift in one direction from the source frequency, so even for a slow ambulance you can hear it decently, at least subtly so. because humans can hear a frequency displacement of a few % at most audible frequencies you would hear. try it :) get a frequency generator, or better yet a guitar, and bend a tone just a little bit and try to measure how small a shift in frequency you can actually notice, its pretty cool that at low tones we can actually notice less than a single hertz shift.

    Great episode as always guys🙂. But i think you missunderstood the first question or at least I interpreted it in a different way. I believe it wasn't about the Doppler effect but rather with the different perseption of time in different conditions (speed and gravity). Like in the siblings experiment, where you send one sibling in space and the other stays on earth, the one on earth ages faster (i am sure doctor Tison is familiar with it). If you were to somehow let them comunicate in real time, the sibling on earth would hear the other in slow-mo.For the 5 seconds it takes the space sibling to say a sentence, 7 seconds would have passed on Earth, so the Earth sibling would hear the sentence for 7 seconds, which would sound weird. The opposite would be happening for the other sibling, he would hear his sibling talking faster. I thing this is also a facinating aspect of the question. I hope you read my comment and I would love to hear if you agree with it. And if not i think it would make for a great explainer 😉.

    • @FlushGorgon
