searchingfortruth Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 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?

searchingfortruth Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Why Wouldn't it? If super dense matter can slow down time, why wouldn't know matter speed it up? It doesn't work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

leugi Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 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.
