gravity affects the time it takes for things to occur, like the swing of a pendulum. so if you have a pendulum based clock, it will work differently where gravity is different. but time does not change. the earth still rotates once per 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds no matter where you are, and year is still 365.24 days. besides, the gravity on a mountain is so insignificantly less that the clock wouldn't seem to make a difference for many many years.

everything is energy

and can be effected by forces enacted upon them

take a quantum physics class


I don't understand it but I'm sure it's all very complicated

something to think about relating to this

all things.. like our earth can be represented like a bowling ball sitting on a trampaline

the weight/mass pulls down on the trampaline

but whats hard to comprehend is that a mass does this on every facit of the of space in all directions and angles

so space can be bent, time, wormholes.. the fabric of the universe.. all very interesting but again very complex




also note that they tested this by measuring the differences between a atomic clock on earth and one on the space shuttle

and as you'd suspect in supporting evidence is the space shuttle clock was running slighty behind when compared... time went slower

time /or rather the measure of time is relitive ,
depends on what your relating it to ,its an artificial construct ,
to say time accelerates is a misnomer , what time /accelerates in relation to what [time]
theory is wonderfull in saying stupid things
but time travel is not just time travel its space and time
say you travelled in time one hour [in relation to what] but for the egsample say one hour where are you ,the earth spins a distance relitive to itself ,you would be in the next state because the earth has moved,
gravity is said by those who claim humans to be decended from monkeys ,to curve space time ,uummmm what time is space compared to earth time ?
traveled what ,travelled where ,oh we moved one second through time ,are you and the moved object not het in the same time and place
a lie that is hard to understand is yet a lie
a theory is not a science
science must be told put up your proofs or stop perpetuating hypothesis ,,told to go sit on a mountain till thier time is up

Time does not change. Our calculations of time are entirely base on the rotation of the earth on its axis as well the rotation around the sun. Time does not change based on where you are.
