I have an idea for my science fiction story but I'm not sure how it would work scientifically.
Essentially you've got a habitable planet orbiting in P-type fashion around a binary star system. Where Star A is a 0.92 solar mass G type star and Star B is a 0.75 solar mass, orange K type star. I've tried to get it as scientifically accurate as possible.
The part that isn't scientifically accurate is the anomalous region on the planet, represented by a moving blue mass of highly charged particles. This alien technology creates an artificial form of time dilation. Where time on the surface of the planet is significantly faster relative to in orbit.
This plot point plays a significant role in the experiences of the characters. But what I want to know is how it would LOOK.
From the surface of the planet I'd imagine that days and nights would be extremely long since any light entering the atmosphere would take longer to reach our eyes. And from orbit, everything would appear to move really fast. Furthermore, from the ground everything would appear red due to redshifting and from orbit it would look all blue due to blueshifting.
The time differential is 1 hour in orbit = 5 years on the planet. Is that enough of a difference for light shifting to occur? I know it's certainly enough for the light reflecting off the planet and entering the atmosphere to look extremely strange.
Is that scientifically accurate? Despite the time dilation not being realistic?
I'd like to limit the colour shifting of light as much as possible, and I wouldn't want to give away the mystery right away by the light seen from orbit to be obviously sped up. So I could just create some classic sci-fi explanation for it. But I'd like to keep it as realistic as possible.
