Can you show me how the calculation works to arrive at the 12 minutes? It appears, upon further reading, on page 66 of my book: The third of our four equations above [...] gives us directly the one remaining phenomenon we promised to discuss; the relativistic equation for the Doppler...

Here is a part of what's causing my confusion. On page 48 of the book, Resnick says "A clock is measured to go at its fastest rate when it is at rest relative to the observer. When it moves with a velocity of v relative to the observer, its rate is measured to have slowed down by a factor of...

It appears the correct formula for the time dilation is t(1) = t/((c-v)/(c+v))^.5, where t=6 minutes. t(1) would be 12 minutes. Does that look right? Danny

I have a copy of "Relativity and Early Quantum Theory" by Robert Resnick. On page 78 there is a problem from chapter 2: A, on earth, signals with a flashlight every six minutes. B is on a space station that is stationary with respect to the earth. C is on a rocket traveling from A to B...
