TL;DR Summary
S5-HVS1 travel time
Summary: S5-HVS1 travel time

If S5-HVS1 is going 10 times faster than the rest of the stars of the milky way, does that mean that time is going slower than us?
How much slower is time going, 10 times?

We think it's time is going slower and it thinks our time is going slower. Time dilation is symmetrical.

How much slower? Hardly any at all, but it depends on the actual value of the speed, not "10 times faster". Star travel velocity is not locally relativistic in the reference frame of other stars.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
