If someone leaves on a spaceship from Earth at near the speed of light, the clock on the spaceship will appear be moving slowly when viewed from the earth.
When the guy on the spaceship looks at the clocks on Earth, they will appear to be moving fast, right? This makes sense since when the guy on the spaceship returns to Earth more time will have passed for the Earth than for him.
I just wanted to make sure since it seemed that some people in the "time dilation" thread were saying that the clocks on Earth will appear to be moving slowly when viewed from the spaceship. I might have been misinterpreting what people were saying.
Thanks,
