So at 215PM by his wristwatch he gets your
message and sends it right back to you with his FTL neutrino radio. He looks at you through his normal telescope and waits for you to receive the relayed message, at 230PM by your friend's wristwatch he notices that you receive the relayed message and you look at your wristwatch, but because of time dilation he notices that your wristwatch reads 130PM.<br>
