<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Unfortunately, BOTH of you have an error regarding
your clocks. You both think that General Relativity causes Time Dilation,
which then allows you to accumulate differences of time.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please see my <A

While remaining on Earth, and as long as you are familiar with buth the Time
dilaltion formula and the Equivalency Principle formula, you will see that you
can calculate both to amazing precision. And they happen to be OPPOSITE,
where General Relativity causes a "speeding of time".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regarding your discussion, one or another clock can
"get ahead" of the other, but they always catch up with each other, with only
one exception, if one of the clocks is in a non-inertial, accelerating reference
frame, where they WILL get different.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For the record, no, time does NOT pass att exactly
the same rate everywhere. For ten years, I have tried to get NASA and ESA
to soft-land a Cesium clock on the Moon. When then compared, the Earth
clock will count <FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">10,976 clicks MORE every
hour than the identical clock on the Moon will count. It is Einstein's
thinking about gravitation and acceleration, and us then having two different
gravitational fields. (Einstein's formulas produced the 10,976 difference,
so I am quite confident about it.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
