I was just wondering how you would go about calculating the proper time for an observer following a freely falling elliptical orbit in a Schwarzschild metric.
I am happy with how to calculate the proper time for a circular orbit and was wondering whether if you had two observers start and end at the same spacetime point, for whom would more proper time elapse- one that followed a circular orbit or one that followed an elliptical orbit?
