This brought into my mind the rocket exercises, but in that when it travels away it goes into the future and returning goes further into the future according to those on Earth, so this must mean that from the rockets rearview they would see the Earth’s past and only see the jump to the future on the return trip? Hmmm, I must be missing something. oh, wait a minute wrong perspective on my part, when the rocket was going away its time slowed by earth’s view so it would be viewing earths past, a negative time if you will, followed by the positive time on the return?
Thinking during typing makes for a longer response.

Thinking during typing makes for a longer response. I’m not Brian, but it seems to me that if you used something slower it would exaggerate the effect instead of eliminating it. Say we use two people with even strides ( equal walking speeds ) and they walked to FL and BL this would allow the train to travel further during the signing, which would make it stretch out the time and make a longer interval between. What would make it seem closer is when we slow the train, slowing the train keeps both observers closer to the event. While speeding up the train widens the distance between observations. Which gives a longer relative gap between FL and BL.
Just a thought from an old retired coal miner. if I’m off sides let me know, John What if, the superfluidic properties observed are in fact another state. Let me ponder while typing, we have waves, particles, em properties, gravity and so on, now we need a sheet to adhere them to, this sheet being the fabric of the universe. So wave, particle, fabric?, DM?,. Seems to me we know a drop of the ocean in which we exist.
