The anser is a proven YES. Time is distorted by gravity. The higher the gavitational pull, the quicker time progresses. The experiment which proved this placed an atomic clock on a jumbo jet, and syncronized it with one on the ground. After flying around (altitude takes you further away from the Earth's pull), the clock at altitude showed an earlier time than it's counterpart that never left the ground. This is really important to know when you are syncronizing satellites and spacecraft. You need to know 4 axis to find it - x,y,z, & time(when it's there). Ultimately this means time has been "bent".

Isn't it the experiment of Probe A had proven that time in gravitational field was bent.
Experiment of Probe B will prove that space in gravitational
field is being bent.
The principal investigator is Francis Everett of Stanford University.

Hi. In the vicinity of a black hole's event horizon just about EVERYTHING gets bent. Time, space, the path that light follows, probably even strings (if they exist).

That's what Einstein said. Gravity not only bends space, but time as well. The people who operate satellites have to account for the effects of gravity-caused time dilation.

Well, deffinitely in star trek!! but all things have a magnetic force. this might have something to do with it, but so far, no, there is no such evidence that time can be bent.

Einstein said so, and the dude knew his phisics, so there for i should agree with him
