Consequences of the general theory of relativity: gravitational time dilation.
¥To a distant observer, time appears to pass more slowly in places where gravity is strong.
¥
¥To an observer in a place where gravity is strong, time appears to pass more quickly in places where gravity is weak.
¥
¥Both statements embody the idea that gravity warps time.
¥
¥Experiments have shown that the predictions of gravitational time dilation are correct.
