PeterDonis said:...So the maximum of the potential, which is where the maximum clock rate will be, is also where the gradient is zero and therefore the net force is zero.
How about the opposite side of the Earth? There is a place there where the 4 forces cancel each other but, beyond it, the clock rate will continue to increase.
Is there a round the Earth transition surface? It is like the rim of the Earth's gravitational well?
What do you think about the optical clocks spiraling upwards from the Earth experiment I suggested? I have reasons to say that such an experiment is very important for relativity. I can't reveal the reasons, because personal theories are forbidden here (not the same in the other forum ... where I intend to post them in the near future), but we may find that the transition will be anything but smooth.
