Hi,
I've a question that I'll illustrate by presenting the following example:
Let's imagine Einstein in a car that's moving away from a clock. This clock 'send' a light beam with the information 'It's 12 o'clock'. If the velocity of this car is close to c, I understand that Einstein will be driving beside the light beam, therefore beside the information, always seeing that the time is 12 o'clock, no changes. But, and this is my question, if Einstein drives towards the clock (close to c, too), will he see the events accelerated on the reference system of the clock (-earth)? why? I mean, einstein's only moving to the light: the only thing that he'll notice is that the information of '12 o'clock' will arrive earlier to his eyes...
Thanks
