    Graduate Time dilation for object orbiting the Moon versus Earth's surface

    I wonder if putting one of the clocks in a Geosynchronous orbit above the moon to cut back on velocity based time-dilation when compared to a clock on the surface of the earth. [Sorry about the triple post, but the forum won't let me delete posts, I thought they'd be automerged]

    No it means I'm struggling to arrive at the correct answer and that my pride wouldn't let me post that in my previous post. If I had the math I'd show my work.

    Graduate Time dilation for object orbiting the Moon versus Earth's surface

    Does anyone here want, better, can anyone here to calculate the time difference for two clocks. One clocking orbiting the moon, the other clock on the surface? I need to double check my math. It doesn't matter what altitude you use, as long as you show your work I'll be able to cross check it...

    Graduate Time dilation for object orbiting the Moon versus Earth's surface

    I must also be a product of time-dilation based on gravity because if on the surface of the moon its 1/6th Earth gravity, it must be far more orbiting high above the moon. I do understand that velocity based time-dilation would indeed come into play, and yes I would like to accurately calculate...

    I could use your help calculating the time difference for something orbiting very high above the moon in comparison to the surface of the Earth.

    No, not due to velocities, the question is regarding due to gravitational changes. The varation I would expect is that plutonium would decay faster and faster the further it got away from the sun (and/or other gravitational fields)

    Are you saying because the onboard systems did not COMPARE themselves to Earth bound measurements that there is no question to be asked? Did you read the link? Please answer both

    I'm trying to calculate the time difference for something orbiting very high above the moon in comparison to the surface of the Earth.

    Why doesn't radioactive decay vary as a function of earth-sun distance. Why didn't the cassini spacecraft show such data? They had to correct tom-tom satilites for time dilation because of the low gravity, so why doesn't radioactive decay vary as a function of gravity...

    Inituitivly, there should be a true energy gain associated with gravitational blueshifting, is this true?

    Would the laser spit out less light per unit time if it was moving fast compared to a laser not moving?The doppler effect says that by moving a light source towards an observer the observer will receive more energy per unit per time (because the energy is compressed), yes? The doppler effect...

    You didn't touch this: The doppler effect says that by moving a light source towards an observer the observer will receive more energy per unit per time (because the energy is compressed).

    If you have a fast moving laser, does the laser and the wall its moving at experience time dilation but the light and the wall do not? Would the laser spit out light slower if it was moving fast?

    Time dilation also shifts towards higher frequencies. High altitude clocks tick faster. You also did not correct and/or deal with some other statements in my post.
