  • Abstract
    In this paper we will demonstrate that the slowing of clocks placed in motion or lowered into a gravitational well can be explained utilizing only the principle of equivalence and conservation of energy. It is clear from this description that the effective slowing of these clocks has no effect on time itself, but only upon the instrumentation or processes by which we choose to measure time. The full paper detailed an experiment which would show that it is indeed only the clocks which slow, and that time remains unaffected
