So you see, what is usually called time dilation (the little γ factor on the first couple of equalities) actually does increase the amount of time between pulses in the Enterprise\'s frame. It\'s the hyperbolic rotation to a new frame that does most of the work, which is to say that this result is in fact due to length contraction and relativistic velocity composition! Time dilation counteracts this, but not enough. It\'s two effects first order in γ against one.
