Brian Greene: "By 1915, with his "General Theory of Relativity," Einstein took these realizations one step further, concluding that something similar happens in a gravitational field. He figured out that the stronger the gravity you experience, the slower time elapses. After synchronizing our watches, were I to stay in the lobby of the Empire State Building while you went sightseeing on the observation deck, I would experience stronger gravity (being closer to Earth) and according to Einstein, when we rejoin, my watch would be behind yours. The effect would be incredibly small, since the difference in gravity you and I would experience is trifling." Silly Brian does not even understand that the idiocy called "gravitational time dilation", as defined by his cleverer brothers, depends on the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL difference between "you and me", not on "the difference in gravity you and I would experience".

This particular silly walk of Lee Smolin's is undoubtedly sillier than (at least as silly as) silly Brian's silly walk. Pentcho Valev |
