Time dilation by homogeneous distribution of massive objects?

[jaketodd]

If a low-mass object is surrounded by massive objects homogeneously so that the low-mass object does not experience acceleration, then is there any time dilation due to the gravitation from the massive objects?

Thanks,

Jake

Yes. see forum thread ... https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=624220

You have to think of the masses as a whole. The time dilation is greatest at it's center.
