I for one am not convinced that "GRT causes time dilation". You have used very bad wording there Carl - GRT does not cause time dilation, GRT predicts that gravity causes time dilation. GRT says that gravity increase causes the slowing of clocks which use the speed of light as their basic time keeping mechanism. Use a pendulum clock, and you will find that time speeds up (more precisely the clock speeds up) as gravity increases. Use a stellar clock, ie a star passing the meridian (or any other reference point) every 24 hours apx. , and you will find that that clock is unaffected by gravity. Tom.

In order for me to learn, I need each of you to teach me something.

You certainly all absolutely are convinced that General Relativity causes 
Time Dilation. I need each of you to teach me WHY you believe that. The MATH 
would be best, but even the LOGIC that you feel applies could help me learn.In my Theoretical Physics education at the University of Chicago, I was 
taught the Equivalency Principle and its Formula  
(acceleration, distance and the speed of light), which always resulted in a 
value which is greater than one (where the Time Dilation Factor is always less 
than one).

There were also a couple Physics Professors who explained their Logic which 
seemed credible to me.

Since the group of you universally believe that General Relativity causes 
Time Dilation, obviously I was misinformed. 

So I need you to teach me the correct MATH and the correct LOGIC which proved 
to each of you that General Relativity causes Time Dilation.

Thank you for educating me.

Carl Johnson
