Effect of gravitational potential on energy

[QUOTE="Dale, post: 6164278, member: 43978"] The total potential energy is not directly relevant to the time dilation. What is relevant is the local gravitational potential. The local gravitational potential is linear, so the potential at any point is equal to the sum of the potentials from the two individual sources. There is no factor of 2 and no concern about sharing the dilation between different masses. [/QUOTE]
