Could somebody explain me the following:
According to GR time dilation due to gravitational field is expressed as:
T_{g}=T_{f}*\sqrt{1-\frac{2GM}{rc^{2}}}
where Tg is time with gravitation,
Tf is time somewhere without gravitation
G - gravitational constant
M - mass
r - radial coordinate of observer
and c - light speed.
Lets assume two explorers are working on two different planets with the same gravitation.
My understanding is that gravitation could be expressed as g=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}.
Mass M for spherical planet is equals to: M=\frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}\rho, where \rho is density.
If two gravitations are the same then:
g_{1}=g_{2} and \rho_{1}r_{1}=\rho_{2}r_{2} or \rhor=const
Getting back to the time dilation formula and replacing M with V*\rho:
T_{g}=T_{f}\sqrt{1-\frac{2G}{c^{2}}\frac{4}{3}\pi{r^{2}\rho}}
After replacing all constants with k (remember that \rhor is also a constant:
T_{g}=T_{f}\sqrt{1-k*r}
What a surprise: same gravitation, but different time dilation! (assuming planets radii are different)
Did I missed something?
Thanks.
