Hello,
I have a question about general relativity and time dilation. I found an expression for the time dilation around a sphere of radius R and mass m.
T=T0/(sqrt(1-2Gm/Rc^2))
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/gratim.html
Is there a way to calculate the time dilation for a different structure directly from the potential? Can I just substitute my potential in for Gm/R in the equation above?
Thanks,
Joe
