Think of it like the slo-mo Quicksilver scene in x-men. The Quicksilver is moving very fast but experiencing their surroundings relative to their speed, so everyone almost looks paused. While everyone else just sees a flash, I think.

I would think it would be the opposite instead, the universe outside your perspective would actually accelerate not slow down. Like if you travel around the solar system for 1 year outside your perspective , in your perspective the movement those outside would have made 1 year of movement, but for you it would have passed like minutes. so you see the universe outside which is evolvin in a year in the span of minutes in your perspective
