In response to all the comments saying that it's unreasonable to make my assumption for the sake of the question, seriously? I have to be honest that comes off as really anal retentive. As if theoretical physicists don't regularly just say, well what if this was that what would happen? I mean...
I'm sure, but I kind of came here because I don't understand it. Maybe I wasn't very clear on exactly what sort of information I'm looking for. Just assume the pocket is possible, it's not an incidental fact of a spacetime peculiarity, it's as if gravity inside the pocket can be turned on and...
As far as I understand gravity creates gravitational potential, making that sort of a semantic difference as far as my question is concerned. I mean, if it wasn't wouldn't it be called gravitational potential time dilation?
Assume for the sake of my question that there is one. I'm not so...
Tbh as a laymen I have no idea what most of your reply means, or what phenomenon you've just described. If you could explain it in somewhat plainer English I would be much obliged.
That being said I'll just briefly explain what I understood, hopefully that helps move the conversation...
If you could create a small space on Earth in which a person could fit that was totally unaffected by gravity, or that was sheltered from the gravitational affects of external sources of gravity, what sort of affect on time dilation would be observed? Both for the person in the pocket, and for...
