Summations Only

Dude - I don't want to be the naysayer here but...ICANT has demonstrated his inability to comprehend even the most basic physics concepts and frankly you stand no chance at all with inertial frames. Message 401 and up/down thread.ICANT can provide a useful foil to test and develop your own understanding and powers of explanation. But don't expect anything remotely sensible from him in reply.....

You could look this stuff up....

Clocks which are far from massive bodies (or at higher gravitational potentials) run faster, and clocks close to massive bodies (or at lower gravitational potentials) run slower.

Gravitational time dilation is the effect of time passing at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the faster the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the more slowly time passes. Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory of relativity[1] and it has since been confirmed by tests of general relativity.

​

This has been demonstrated by noting that atomic clocks at differing altitudes (and thus different gravitational potential) will eventually show different times. The effects detected in such experiments are extremely small, with differences being measured in nanoseconds.
