No. The gravitational potential at 1000 km is larger. That’s why stuff gains kinetic energy as it falls.phinds said:So the gravitational potential at 1000Km above the Earth is less than that on the surface, thus making time run faster at the 1000Km mark.
In exact analogy, yes.phinds said:And then (according to you) the gravitational potential at the center of the Earth is less than at the surface, thus making time run slower than on the surface
Because of, not despite.phinds said:despite it also being at a lower gravitational potential.
