Well I think you've officially lost me.. as I briefly mentioned, I'm not entirely great with maths - so I'm struggling to understand what appears to be simple. My research time is limited due to family commitments, therefore I'm unable to spend the time to study the prerequisite material to...

Forgive me for being confused, but you said "add the gravitational potentials" and then wrote "GM/R - Gm/r". I know this might seem simple to you but I'm not grasping it properly. Are my calculations even close to the right way to figure this out?

Hi Jonathan - thanks for the reply. I have to admit, I think what you have said is outwith the scope of what I'm trying to figure out at the moment - at least in terms of the current state of my story. Having said that, it may come into play depending on whether or not I can get these...

Hi Andrew, at the moment, yes it is - although it really depends on whether the figures I eventually use will have any real impact with time dilation. I had a particular idea of how it could be interesting to use it in my story, and I can't really get past the idea until it's solved - not that...

Hi folks, I'm writing a story which involves civilisations across multiple planets, and I've been trying to work out the impact of time dilation between them. I'm hoping someone can help me out here (thanks in advance!). (I'm not sure if this exact question may be applicable to one of the...

Thanks for the welcome! I had a (quick) look in the science fiction forum, i'll check it out properly later. Cheers :)
