Does time go slower in zero gravity?

Answer 1

Gravity, like the color sox you are wearing, has nothing to do with time.

Answer 2

actually the opposite. if I remember my einsteinian physics correctly, the closer one is to a gravity well, the slower your clock will run. The fastest clocks would be the ones that are infinitely far away from any massive object exerting a gravitic influence.

Now, if you are referring to a case of weightlessness, like an astronaut in orbit, that has no effect on the flow of time. A space station closely circling a black hole, with it's strong gravity would have a slower flow of time than an astronought circling earth, even though in both cases, the astronaut would be floating around, in apparent zero gravity compared to the station around him due to the physics of the orbit.

Answer 3

Why ?There is no reason time goes slower than normal gravity field in zero gravity (which is g=0)

Answer 4

No, quite the opposite.

Close to a large gravitational field, time slows down. For an object falling into a black hole time slows down to zero, so that the object's point of view, the final gravitational anhilation never occurs, although from the point of view of an observer at a safe distance, the object is sucked into the black hole. (This comes from Einstein's theory of General Relativity.)

There have been experiments done using pairs of atomic clocks, one on top of a mountain, and the other in a deep mine (and thus closer to the earth's gravitational centre), and the clock in the mine goes slower.

Answer 5

Time goes slower in a gravitaional field, so the answer is no, time does not go slower in zero gravity. See this web site:

Answer 6

How do you define time?

Time is the period in & out of space during which inciedents, actions etc. are allowed to occur within existence.

It may appear to be slow or fast with reference to what u use to measure it.

Time is an independent fundamental scalar quantity,thus it doesn't change and isn't dependent on any other physical factor, only period may change, not time!.

Answer 7

Actually, time slows down in a gravitational field. With a mass as small as the earth, it's difficult to measure, but according to general relativity, it does slow down.

Answer 8

at zero gravity earth will fall from it's orbit ,zero gravity becomes when sun will fall off

Answer 9

No.... time only "changes" in frames of reference that are moving at reletavistic speeds with realation to one another.

Answer 10

No. Time isn't based on how much you weigh.
