One question
Imagine a spaceship travelling near the speed of light with a camera filming it
Imagine we are at earth looking at a screen that is showing what the camera is recording
what would we see?

They made a simple videogame to help visualize what moving at relativistic velocities would look like.

Very cool

I am not talking about me moving at near speed of light.
But about a guy that is not doing it, looking at a monitor that shows what is happening inside a spaceship that is doing it

What difference does that make? Are you saying he's transmitting a signal from his spaceship to earth? Because that could be interesting. If he's moving away from earth, the signal would be red-shifted for one thing.

Yes what happen inside the spaceship is being recorded and the live recording is being shown on a earth monitor the guy is looking

it will not be live, if you'd send it frame by frame the receiving end will not receive the same framerate as was recorded.

Well, it's complicated and confusing. Frame rate is normally thought of as being an absolute thing, and for normal situations this works fine, but in this situation we must recognize that it's relative.
The rate of anything is dependant upon time, which is dependant upon one's frame of reference. So the person recording the video would determine it to be recorded and transmitted at one frame rate and the person receiving the video would determine it to have been recorded and transmitted at a lower frame rate, and both observers would be equally correct.
Frame rate is relative.

>Frame rate is relative.
Someone should tell /v/. I'm sure they'd be glad to hear it.

Maybe it could be used in advertising?
"Other television companies promise 180fps performance, but we tested every model they make and found that to an observer traveling 0.95 c relative to the screen, the fps is nowhere near that high! Don't be fooled by inferior screens. Buy Samsung."

>and the person receiving the video would determine it to have been recorded and transmitted at a lower frame rate,
this explains everything
