Time dilation
As I've understood; two parties can experience time, or timespace, differently depending on each parties'
• velocity
• gravity
A debate led to this question:
ship A and ship B install livecams, each viewing both ships' livefeed on 2 screens*. Ship B launches away from earth** 10^5 times the speed of light with constant speed for 60 seconds. Ship A stays still the whole time.
How do each party perceive each others feeds?
* leave out the variable of streaming connection of cameras, presume perfect transmission in terms of latency.
** disregard gravitational variables from other planets than Earth.
NB: I don't study physics, I've seen the rules on homework q's but I didn't know where else to post a difficult q on special relativity.
