Motion and gravitational time decelerate or slow. The slowing of your
clock takes you fast into the future of the rest of the universe. By
proper time a small duration has elapsed but the rest of the universe
has aged far into its future. A slow now and a fast now appear the
same. That is proper time. Slow or fast it is still exactly the same
order unfolding.

Mitch Raemsch


The unfolding is (-) to (0) via (+). The traveler is never observably or
communicatively up-to-date with any destination point upon departure from
any departure point. If the traveler could measure the light second to the
destination to be exactly the same second as his clock measures, he's not
getting even a single silly millimeter closer to his destination than when
he was setting at his departure point. He may be going somewhere but he's
detouring his destination keeping a perfect distance from it at all times.
The only way he closes any distance at all with his destination is to
measurably squeeze at least 1.x external light seconds into every one second
of his own his own clock ticks. He knows he's powering to his destination
(constant boost) when that squeeze reaches 2 light seconds per clock second,
3 light seconds per clock second, and so on.

But in our "all history universe" we observe, the unfolding in travel is
always relative history under observation here (-) toward currency and
object reality there (0) ((-) to (0) via (+)). "The slowing of your clock
takes you fast into the future of the rest of the universe," is where you
the traveler are always sitting in a time before time (-), as far as your
destination is always concerned, and travel from it -- futuristically (+) --
to 'now' (0).

I can see it another way as well, from the destination's point of view.
The traveler always comes from the 'future' of the destination (+) to the
destination's 'now' in time (0)! He certainly isn't coming from the
direction of the destination's PAST (in the destination's point of view)! No
traveler ever comes from the direction of the destination's past to now --
always the future to now (in the destination's point of view)!

I've always found it easy to see the traveler's point of view...and the
departure point's point of view (well described over the decades). It's
always been a lot more difficult to see the destination's point of view of
an oncoming traveler. It is a reverse viewpoint, and a reverse direction in
time the traveler is coming from, from the future to now, though still a
picture all futuristic until the exact moment of arrival, now! I'll bet
there are few anywhere that can see the destination's viewpoint I've laid
out here... a traveler's line [future to now]. It happens to be the only way
a traveler can view his departure point in the distance of spacetime -- from
wherever his present locality is -- as being a distant past under
observation. He had to travel [to that distant past] in traveling distantly
away from his departure point....which welds well to the destination's point
of view of the traveler's time travel, future to now rather than past to
now. "He certainly isn't coming from the direction of the destination's PAST
(in the destination's point of view)!"

The cosmological constant is (0)....and it isn't a mistake. It never was
(regarding an infinite Universe being the bigger picture actually, that is).
