Time travel using matter density. Rate Topic: -----

If matter controls time (the denser the matter the slower time passes) does that mean if we could create an area in space that had no matter effects such as gravity at all that time would rush forward?

It doesn't work that way.

Why Wouldn't it? If super dense matter can slow down time, why wouldn't know matter speed it up?

That's not what you said. You claimed the denser the matter the slower time passes, which isn't a true statement. You really should start with a true statement.

Time dilation depends on the gravitational potential.

Which is affected by matter density.

You can have a small potential with a large density and a large potential with a small density.

i don't know if this is true but i don't think it would work because you would still need to get rid of dark matter, the stuff that holds the universe together in order to bend time.
