   Gravitational Time Dilation
   Unlike the kinematic time dilation of SR, gravitational time dilation arises because clocks tick slower in stronger gravitational potentials (i.e., closer to a massive object). This is quantified by comparing time measurements in different regions of the gravitational field. For a static, spherically symmetric mass distribution (Schwarzschild geometry), the ratio of time intervals $d\tau$ (…
