As I understand it, from the theory of general relativity, increased gravity means time moves more slowly.
-
I was wondering if this was linear, logarithmic, exponential, etc., when graphing the correlation. Is there a formula that can measure the relative passing of time based on differences in gravity (presumably using Earth’s gravity as a baseline)?
-
From a quick google search, google’s AI said it was an exponential function. If true, why does it behave that way?
-
Are there any (known or theoretical) places in our observable universe with no gravitational influences? What would the passing of time look like in such a place?
Thanks so much!

Where:
= time experienced by an observer moving at velocity (dilated time)
= proper time (time measured by an observer at rest relative to the event)
= velocity of the moving observer
= speed of light in a vacuum (approximately )
So if you were to graph these two lines of time dilated versus undilated they would be parallel but they start to curve away from each other the more gravity you add.
Gravity in this would be velocity but gravity Is typically measured in acceleration but if you change the gravity then you would measure it in velocity.
So as long as the gravity maintains constant then the lines remain parallel. They just don’t cross or overlap and as gravity changes then the distance between the lines would change
I want to say the new FAFO would fit, but it would just be comedy.
