Hello,
I am sure this must have been considered before, but I haven't been able to find it. I would be most grateful to get a reference or the right keywords to search for.
Consider a slowly rotating cylinder, which is brought into a gravitational field (say from space to the surface of Earth). Is it true that due to time dilatation one side of the cylinder will spin slightly slower than the other and this effect is cumulative?
Thanks.
