Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 36E
You’re the communications officer on a fast spaceship that takes 50 years in ship time to reach the Andromeda Galaxy, 2 million light years from Earth in the common rest frame of Earth and Andromeda. As soon as you reach Andromeda, your captain orders you to send a radio message to Earth announcing your arrival: he claims the message will reach Earth about a century after you left. You claim it will be much later when the message arrives. Who’s right?
