In space, the Doppler Effect lengthens the wave length of things moving away from us and shortens the wave length of things moving toward us.
But it seems to have the opposite effect on time, or at least our perception of time if there is such a thing as time outside what we perceive. When events move away from us (slipping into the past), the time seems to have gone quickly. How many times have we said “I can’t believe it’s been ten years. Seems like it was only yesterday.” But when events move toward us (future), they seem to be far off. “Do you mean I have to wait ten days to get paid?”
