The transformation would transform the spacetime metric AND the worldlines of all the clocks. I don't think it's helpful to think of the gravity component when looking at general coordinate transformations. I said early that the mathematics of GR was complex and flexible. Complexity is the price you pay for flexibility. You can choose any coordinates you like (flexible), but you have a compelxity in terms of how to explain what's happening.name123 said:So the transformation would make the "gravity" component higher?
In addition, you are potentially going down the wrong road altogether here by insisting on a physical understanding of the changes, when in fact nothing physical is changing. It's the same experiment with the same result whatever frame of reference you use to analyse it.
Especially when it comes to GR this is the wrong way to think about things.
