Gravitational Time Dilation at height H Formula
The Wikipedia lists this formula for finding the time dilation in a gravitational field from one point to another point at "height" h, by integrating over the gravitation. However there is ...

Gravitation time delay
Einstein showed us that our reality is very different from what we perceive, he taught that time under the influence of matter passes slowly. When I got to know this fact and tried to find a ...

Gravitational Time Dilation’s Effect on Two Observers Observing Each Other’s Time
Before reading any further, I want to warn everyone that I have absolutely no formal (nor much informal) exposure to physics outside of the small amount I got during a calculus course I took in ...

Time dilation due to acceleration - four simple situations to try to clarify
I see some relatively comprehensive answers here but then I listen to this Don Lincoln presentation on the twin paradox which seems to be saying that the resolution to the paradox is more ...

Gravitational time dilation due to 'frame absorbing'?
Is there any possibility to explain gravitational time dilation as a result of space being constantly moved by the gravitational attractor towards its centre? (Something similar to 'frame dragging'). ...

Are we gaining or losing time as our planet revolves around the Sun?
I understand that the Earth (or someone standing on our planet) will undergo time dilation due to a number of reasons compared with someone hovering in interstellar space. I would like to focus on two ...

Why would time behave differently in different parts of the galaxy? [closed]
I watched Interstellar and I got really confused around different time thing. How can it be possible at all that time is different at different places in the universe?
Please explain.

Does the twin paradox require both twins to be far away from any gravity field?
If one twin is on earth at 1 g and the other twin accelerates away from earth following a great big elliptical counterclockwise trajectory. He travels at .9 g for 20 years(according to earth time) as ...

What is the physical interpretation of the equation for the invariant interval in general relativity?
In my GR lecture I was given the following equation for the spacetime interval (signature $(+,-,-,-)$):
$$ ds^2=(1+\frac{2\phi}{c^2})c^2 \, dt^2-(1-\frac{2\phi}{c^2})\delta_{ij}\, dx^{i}dx^{j} \tag{1}...

How is time defined in time dilation?
It appears that there are two different concepts of time dilation (in my amateur point of view):
Time delation due to relative velocity. Let‘s say a second is measured by the time it takes for light ...

Would the effect of time dilation alone cause the same existing known precession advance of the perihelion of say, Mercury?
Or does this advance also require the bending of space to arrive at the same outcome. In other words if there were no bending of space would the effect of time dilation alone cause an equivalent ...
