[Brad:]
"Since the observer can
never observe space, a traveler will never be where an observer
observes him
to be because all the observer observes is history and the traveler has

since--to long since--moved on in both space (unobservable) and time
(unobserved). This "since moved on..." negates all "time slowing." "

"observer" is easily misunderstood. Brad, with "observer" in physics
usually one means a measurement system. An idealised system has perfect
detectors everywhere; a good one has enough detectors to reconstruct
(x, t) by calculation.
That has nothing to do with "time slowing".

Cheers,
Harald
