What if the universe was timeless, like I described in my first post, just say the universe was timeless how would General Relativity function with regards to time dilation (difference in clocks)?

Thank you for all the replies, after more reading, I now think that I understand Gravitational time dilation, if I was some how onboard a satellite looking at a clock that was synced the same as one on Earth before it was flown into orbit it would appear normal, but if I could look at a clock...

Thank you for that, that does help :) I like to think visually and analogies do help a lot! So a clock in a deep gravitation well is in a more stretched spacetime than a clock further away from Earth which is in more contracted spacetime? I think where my misunderstanding comes from is the...

I still don't really understand, I am angry at myself for not being able to understand. I understand about speed and being relative to something else, but I really want to understand why Gravitational time dilation happens.

How does the gravitational well actually affect the clock though? is gravity actually affecting the subatomic level of the clock or something else, this is what I can not get my head around In my mind I visualize every atom as being affected by motion, if an atom was moving at 99.9% the speed...

Hi PeterDonis, thank you for the reply, I am not sure of the correct manner to reply with the quoting? do i re-quote your sections? Did not realize the irony at the top, may be that shows I am too daft to even begin to understand any of this, but I want to! I shall read this papers of Julian...

Hi, I am new here, I am no physicist and I'll admit have not read much on physics, but I do have a keen interest and a deep wanting to know answers and understand how and why things are the way they are. lately I've been reading a lot about General and Special Relativity, and time, I've always...
