How Does Gravity Affect the Flow of Time?
š” The Answer
- Gravitational time dilation occurs because gravity warps spacetime itself.
- Clocks run slower in stronger gravitational fields, as predicted by Einstein's relativity.
- This effect has been measured precisely using atomic clocks at different altitudes.
- GPS satellites must correct for time dilation to provide accurate location data.
