Thank you. It only seems logical. Either the observation is wrong or something is happening apart from our concepts of time and space. I think both things are possible but I have no idea which it is here. In any case speed is an irrelevant concept to this hypothesis. Instantaneous or simultaneous are just other ways of saying ‘now.’

We think alike on these issues, TigersEye. I tend to favor the hypothesis that our concepts of time and space as presently constituted are inadequate. But it could be a measurement problem. I hope we'll find out which it is before too long!

And I so agree that "instantaneous or simultaneous are just other ways of saying 'now.'"

Thank you so much for further detailing your analysis!
