If you remember one of Einsteins papers about living near the edge of a gravitational mass could keep you young ie a black hole. Both your biological and atomic clock would slow down near to this mass or form of acceleration.A scientist decides to perform an experiment. He places a probe near to a huge gravitational mass where he knows it will slow down both biological and atomic time on this probe. The probe has a laser gun, a mirror and a clock which he can see from his spaceship. He then places the exact same type of probe the same distance from his spaceship but out of the influence of the gravitational mass. He notices right away that the clock on the probe placed near to the mass is running slower than the uninfluenced clock by half. Two hours pass and the clock on the probe near the mass is showing 1'oclock while the uninfluenced clock is now at 2'oclock. All is well with Einsteins theory up to now. He then decides to measure the speed of light and to see if gravity can slow light speed down because theories suggest light speed is not relative and he wants to confirm this. So he fires a small pulse of light from the probe near the mass to the uninfluenced probe and waits for it to hit it's mirror. After 10 seconds of his own clock and the clock on the unfluenced probe, the pulse is seen to hit the mirror. He then looks back at the probe near the mass and sees it's clock has only advanced 5 seconds. He reverses the experiment and sees from the clocks that the result is the same.From the probe's clock near the mass, the journey took 5 seconds and from the clock of the uninfluenced probe it took 10 seconds. From an onlookers point of view the speed of light measured from the probe near the mass has doubled the speed of light from the uninfluenced probe and the spaceship. What lessons can be learned here and what has actually happened here?..maff
You're talking pure rubbish again maff and we all know it. So either talk sensibly or go away.

If you could see the other time zone then it would either move fast or slower depending. But should you be in either then it would be the same as it is now(time-wise)!
