I asked a question concerning this subject once but the discussion dissolved into petty quibbling and I saw no links or evidence to back up or help me understand any of the statements made.

What is the relationship between time dilation and the effect of gravity?


This was my original post.

Time dilation relationship between gravity and velocity.
Spaceships A and B synchronise their atomic clocks and then perform an activity

:Spaceship A accelerates to 0.9999 times the speed of light in relation to spaceship B. Time in spaceship A will be observed by spaceship B to be running slower by the factor

(Va^2/C^2)^-0.5=Tb/Ta

Where Tb/Ta is the ratio of Tb compared to Ta and Va is the velocity at which spaceship A has accelerated from B. In this case

Tb/Ta = 1.00010001, so time at spaceship B is going 1.00010001 times faster than time in spaceship A.

;Spaceship A flies to a black hole and is affected by an acceleration of 100000ms^-2 due to the force of gravity and spaceship B remains in negligible gravity.

Has anyone found out what Tb/Ta is in relation to gravity and can a simple simultaneous equation find out a relationship between Gravity and Velocity?

Yeah, sorry about that. I've just locked that topic. I'll delete any nonsense that arises in this one. (notice: fair warning)
 
Yes, it can. gt = v. though what you want to do is intergrate the acceleration.
F(g) = u. I presume your circleing around the black hole...

So ta/(1-((va + u)/c)2)½ = tb.

I didn't understand your syntax, that's all. Maybe i should practice a bit.

It's very true

The entire post was quoted and the above text was added within the body of the quote. For clarity, I just pulled out the repeated stuff. - Phobos

I responded to your post in the other section. Gravitation time dilation is well-understood, so that would be the relationship between Ta and Tb you're after. An object in orbit around a large mass will experience both gravitational and Lorentzian (local special relativitsic) time dilation. However, there is no deeper connection between the two.
 
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
