Really interesting stuff. I had a random question, that I'm not sure makes sense. In the exaggerated illustration of the wave on a ring of dust in a vacuum, if I am one of those specks of dust, I would notice the other speck moving farther away and then closer it seems. Does it have an effect on my clock as well if I'm staring at an atomic clock?
