Seminarium Teorii Względności i Grawitacji

I will consider gravitational time dilation between stationary observers and will present examples which contradict the statement that ‘time slows down as gravity increases’. I will furthermore show that this statement cannot be true in general, if gravity strength is defined in an observer independent manner. I will also discuss aspects of this phenomenon, which are often omitted in textbooks on general relativity. (in order to participate ask wkaminsk at fuw.edu.pl for a link)
