 [2.0] Relativistic Paradoxes
As she went from Earth to Minbar, she observed Bob's clock as "redshifted" by the Doppler effect by a factor of Tm / T = 17.3 / 10 = 1.73.
As Alice flies to Minbar, Bob observes her "redshifted" clock running slow by a factor of 1.73, and when she turns around and comes back, he observes her "blueshifted" clock running fast by a factor of 0.577.
However, she knows that, in spite of the fact that "blueshifting" makes the clock on Minbar appear to run fast, it is actually running slow due to time dilation by the factor of 1.15, and so it only counts 17.3 / 1.15 = 15 years during the course of her outbound journey.
